smashingmagazine.com — Minimalism, in the context of design, refers to simple, unadorned designs that embody only the most basic and fundamental needs. In art, it is a movement that has its roots in the post-World War II era, started by highly regarded minimalist artists such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, and Robert Morris.

I know what you mean. But this is web design, where there are less educated designers playing lead roles than in other areas of graphic design. I work as a web designer and minimalism is my thing.... but it can be a real challenge to keep clients from wanting to add 'little' things even after they've agreed to 'keep it simple'. Almost everyone thinks they're a web designer... or a web design expert. One thing I noticed about some of these sites is while the design is clean, the usability is not. A very common problem is readability of text. Personally I believe usability and design go hand-in-hand, and no matter how visually appealing a site might be, if you can't read the text or locate things on the site... it's not a good web design.
