22 Best Clean Websites (Examples) 2023
These best clean websites are the perfect examples to acquire additional ideas for your simple and minimal page.
For this collection, we checked and reviewed each website’s use of white space, colors, fonts and creative elements, to name a few.
A clean design doesn’t necessarily mean that less is better. But it must be simple and easy to skim through (read, no distractions).
Here’s a simple rule: If you don’t know how to approach web design, just keep it simple!
One very easy way to create a minimal and simple website is to use a clean WordPress theme.

Habitat is a great example of a clean one-page website with a navigation bar that takes you directly to the desired section without scrolling.

Ha Thong is a clean eCommerce website with a decent amount of white space that makes the items pop more.

Note: Offer a better online shopping experience (and increase conversions) with a clean web design.
15. Youssri Rahman
Built with: Webflow
Youssri Rahman’s website is very refreshing with its one-of-a-kind (not) image slider. The thing is, once you hover over an individual slide, a video starts playing. So clever.
What also makes this clean site different from others is the sidebar header and the awesome About page.
Note: If you plan to use a slider, dare to make it different, unlike everyone else.
16. Israel Ramirez
Built with: Webflow
With the addition of the circular animation, the large and bold text in Israel Ramirez’s website’s hero section grabs everyone’s attention.

Note: Use your home page as a landing page with strategically placed CTAs.
18. Magazzino
Built with: ProcessWire
Magazzino has a beautiful parallax image that promotes its latest events, followed by a grid-style news/fairs section.
The header is 100% transparent and floating, and the footer blends with the base of the website and doesn’t feel like a footer.
Note: The parallax effect accompanies a clean web design nicely.
19. Ethan Suero
Built with: Webflow
Ethan Suero’s website has an interesting “preloader” that first tells you what he specializes in and then shows his image.
The single-page website layout has various scrolling animations with a disappearing/reappearing header depending on whether you scroll down or up.
The footer’s dark/light or night/day mode switcher is unique to Ethan Suero.
Note: You can play with adding dark/light mode if you’re running a dark website (or light).
20. Wild
Built with: DatoCMS
Wild is another online store we wanted to add as a great clean website example. Even though a lot is happening on the home page, all the elements distract you positively because of the simple design with enough white space.
But the “How it works” section is our favorite, which you could copy for your product(s).
Note: You can display a lot of information, even animations, when focusing on readability with white space, a clean look and pleasant typography and color combos.
21. Scope Copenhagen

22. Hono Restos
Built with: Craft CMS
Hono Restos’s clean website starts with choosing one of its two locations first. They separate each location with dark and light designs to keep it more dynamic.
Also, both have a simple but modern presentation with multiple additional links and opening hours. What’s also cool is the bottom right button that lets you switch locations with a click.
Note: Using dark and light designs for different pages can create a positive impact.
