Why Minimalist Web Design Is Dead

Bottom line: too many sites try to have too many features - they should focus on having one prime functionality. It's like writing a paper - it has to have a thesis that is clear.

I would disagree that minimalism is dying. In fact, minimalism is key these days. Users are now bombarded with too many apps and websites. A minimalist app with a clear thesis (what does it do) is essential. People have to understand what your site DOES in 1 minute or less.
