20 Pure Websites with Clean White Backgrounds
Whenever we start work designing a website one of the first things we always do is throw a bunch of colours and textures onto the canvas, but sometimes a design will benefit from the clean and crisp appearance of a pure white background. This showcase rounds up 20 minimal website designs that prove that sometimes less is more.

Great post. Interesting to see a lot of them use black as the secondary colour.

It appears the sites that do this are mainly those that have lots of graphic content, from which, perhaps, an entertaining background might distract (or overburden bandwidth). NYTimes and its ilk (pure news) are about the only ones I've seen that carry off pure white successfully.
I'm currently working with my church on getting a new website designed. They are going for the cheap template route, sadly, but while we were looking at other websites looking for sleek designs we came across this one: http://gladtidingsomaha.com/
I'm not sure if you consider that pure white, but I think it's very clean and love the design.
Most of them are monochrome. I like the sites with big fonts and some of the sites you shared have that look.
Oh Chris!
You forgot a website!
Check out this page i've developed: http://www.hosan.eu ;-) Very nice on iPad, too!
Best regards!

Bright and clean. Your blog show that white is a versatile option for a web background. Less = More.
Less is more> Thumbs up!
hi
this website very best but i like more background :D
tnx
Sweet list!
Less certainly does seem more! This blog itself is a good example of that.
Keep up the good work Chris
Always have loved Big Bite – so simple and clean.
Thanks for sharing Chris!
Great collection of websites Chris.
Thanks
I'm amazed by the the Mm Design site. Now I know that maybe web designers, myself included, say that less is more, and that particular site proves it. On the other hand, it all depends on the type of site.
Anyway, was that site designed with flash or something else?
I like the white look. It's clean and professional. There's nothing wrong with colored backgrounds, but some tend to get too busy.
I enjoyed the list.

Great designs. White is the color of purity and it can go with every theme. It makes the color more popular.
