Minimalistic design is here to stay, and black and white web design is one of the ways to approach that. For both inspiration and example, here are twenty-five black & white themed web designs — with perhaps only the slightest hints of color or gray.

As black and white photography, design of b/w websites requires the most of web designer – talent, professionalism and self criticism. I think that you can tell much more without colors…
This is something I really like! Stunning design is what You can do with combining beautyful Typo and geshtalt principles into simple black and white creation!
I simply love playin and simple , although I didn’t made one, doesn’t mean I woll not in future! :)
