Good work on showing us these designs.
Beauty in simplicity.
I particularly like ‘undercurrent’, ‘Last Bottle’ and ‘Percival’ due to their symmetry (or almost symmetry).

I just wrote an article with research references talking about how a clean website is more appealing to visitors. Personality type does also play a role in preference. However, the general preference is a 50% keyword density.

I haven’t seen this web design gallery before, so I’m thankful that you posted a link to it!
I like how the website screenshots in this gallery are big and how clicking on them leads directly to the featured website instead of another web page in the gallery.
