I love minimalist design for its sheer simplicity. Minimalism does away the unnecessary frills and presenting a user-interface that is pleasing to the eyes and easy to navigate. Isn’t that the essence of a great design?

So today I’d like present to you 10+1 of - what I think - the best minimalist WordPress themes you’ll probably love. Though not in any order of preference.

    Hey there. I love your blog design although it’s not completely yours. I’ve been watching Speckyboy’s works since the first time I found his website which was a few months ago and I admit, I really love The Winter Styled as well. You chose the right theme. :)

    And thanks too for your comment and precious time you spent on Pelangi Petang. Feel free to come again. :)

    Bookmarked your blog. Maybe you’ll be on my Link Love someday. :)

    Hey Fath,

    Appreciate your time to drop by and thanks for the bookmark. Yeah, I hope one day I could design a minimalist theme I could call my own. The day shouldn’t be too long though. It’s in the pipeline.

    I like Grady and Trevilian Way. With a little customization they can be a nice CMS homepage theme.

  • Yan on May 25th, 2008

    Oh yes, both of them are as good as the other themes. As in most cases, minimalistic design requires less customization which is good from the user’s perspective.

    It is well seen that you have spent much time and effort writing content for your blog. It is really a valuable resource for those who’d wish to begin blogging and dont’ know what to start with. Thank you very much!

    Love the themes, especially #6, 7, 10, 11
