White Websites

White is usually associated with concepts and emotions such as cleanliness, purity, newness, virginity, peace, innocence, simplicity, precision, winter and goodness. White and black combination has the biggest visual contrast, this can be used to portray opposite concepts such as day & night or Good vs. Evil.

White in web design is a symbol of elegance, minimalism and style. It is used to create space and to move the attention to the important elements of the website and to maintain the site clean. White makes clear for visitors where to look at.

Several white websites sport the minimal look. Minimal design is pleasant to the eye and can give your website a clean, professional and elegant look. White can enhance this look offering simplicity and cleanliness to any web design. White websites look super-modern and feel very light in contrast with the heaviness of websites with dark backgrounds.

Some of the best designed websites use white as their main color. Designers like white backgrounds because they look good with whatever color you match with them. Like a plain canvas is like a void, white is said to be the non-color (although actually it is the combination of the visible colors of light together), so it supports any possible color combination and it will remain unnoticed while bringing out the properties of the colors the designer choose to use. However, take account that dark colors on the website texts will augment readability and the use of bright colors in the key elements of a white website will make them get noticed faster.
