A clean web design has the advantage of being simple and functional which means that it is likely for it to be successful. Of all the website styles that you can pick for a website, this one has the biggest rate of being received well by all audiences.

When talking about clean web design most people will think of minimalism. Clean design has nothing to do with minimalism, because it focuses on the aesthetics of the page. A minimalist design is clean, but a clean web design doesn’t have to be minimalist.

So, how do we create a clean website?

Less is more, every designer should know this. You should avoid at all costs a cluttered design, with elements that you don’t necessarily need on the page. This is available for content as well as for graphical elements.

Use white space as much as you can to create relief zones and provide contrast for the content and design elements. It helps the user find exactly what is looking for on the page and you don’t risk having a big bounce rate.

Make sure that the graphical elements that you use are noticed and do their job on the page, otherwise the website will be perceived by the visitor as a blank sheet of paper. It is important that you direct the visitor’s attention to where you want with the help of a few noticeable site graphics.
