Brutalist Websites Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Does anyone kind of miss simpler webpages?

  A couple of years back there was this movement called "Brutalist web design" you might be interested in. I can't say I like the style too much but I think there are technical merits to Brutalist web design, accessibility being one of them. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can I get your opinions on this design?

  I also don't really see the brutalism in this, it needs to be raw, louder, have more "attitude" and personality. Don't really know how to explain it, found a website that collect brutalist websites, it should give a better idea of what I'm after. A lot comes down to typography since brutalist design is very bare and raw. A more interesting font (or fonts) and more aggressive font sizes will help a lot for instance. Source: over 1 year ago

  Is it defined by concrete buildings? I think brutalism has a bit more going on than just concrete buildings when you look into it. You can even find brutalist web design floating around. Source: over 1 year ago

• On my site i've got modal window which takes screen height (100vh) - header height(67px) so that it perfectly fills the screen. Browsers have this bottom bar that hides part of the screen. When user scrolls it should hide but if body is overflow hidden then it doesnt scroll and so bar doesnt go away

  It’s got the brutalist aesthetic going on. Source: over 1 year ago

• What Is the Web Revival?

  I suppose that's personal taste, which is absolutely fine. Personally, I feel that the design isn't particularly appealing either, but that's, like, my own opinion. If anything, it's not brutalist design: https://brutalistwebsites.com/ It's just that one can choose to see the design as distinct from the content. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Neobrutalism Is Taking over the Web

  Https://brutalistwebsites.com/ started in 2016; it has been a while. I would even say, that proper web brutalism is not a thing anymore. I think a much better definition for the style described in the article is "Corporate Memphis" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis - that is also a 10 years long trend. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Why is Yale’s School of Art website so ugly 💀

  This looks pretty in line with a lot of brutalist art principles that has become popular in art circles as of late. You can say that you don’t like it, but there are plenty of people who do.

• Is brutalist graphic design the next thing? I don't know much about it but I personally prefer seeing this over any minimalist/corporate soulless designs. What do you think about it?

  Yes, it is an architectural term, but there is a distinct graphic style that emerged because of inspiration from brutalist buildings (albeit with a modern twist). Here’s a neat collection of the brutalist (GD) aesthetic: https://brutalistwebsites.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
