Great post! Couldn’t agree with you more. I really believe people complicate things to make it look sophisticated.

Edward Bono has a book called ‘Simplicity’ that gives great insights how we can achieve complexity through simplicity. He believes chess is a complex game cause it achieves it’s complexity through a large number of pieces so he designed a board game with just 4 pieces.

Yes I think that is key when doing any product design. Although minimilist can’t be categorised as simple either, and a lot of people don’t think about that. You could have a minimalist site which is just as hard to use as a complex site.

I think no matter what we create as designers, we should have UX at the center. Whether a minimalist design suits the project or not is a whole other decision to be made.

This is true for me. I love minimalism, like your site. Sometimes less is more.
