Minimal Gallery for website and template inspiration

What is Minimal Gallery?

Minimal Gallery (minimal.gallery) is a curated gallery of website design inspiration run by Piet Terheyden. The project has been updated regularly since 2013 and highlights beautiful, functional sites across categories such as portfolio, startup, agency, e-commerce, SaaS, and product. You can browse websites, templates, and a tools section, filter by topic, and subscribe to a weekly email digest on the main site. This Uwarp page embeds the public gallery so you can scan references next to other inspiration tools.

What you can explore

How this gallery helps when you need visual and structural direction for the web.

1. Hand-curated site examples: Review selected live sites for layout, typography, imagery, and overall tone.
2. Templates and tools sections: Switch between inspiration for full sites, template ideas, and tool-oriented pages when the main site offers those areas.
3. Category filters: Narrow by themes such as portfolio, one page, personal, agency, and product to match your project type.
4. Long-running curation: The gallery has a multi-year track record, which can help you compare trends over time on the source site.
5. Newsletter on the main site: The author offers a weekly digest; sign up on minimal.gallery if you want email updates (Uwarp does not run that list).

How to use this page

Turn browsing into decisions your team can implement.

1. Pick a category that matches the brief: Filter toward SaaS, portfolio, or e-commerce when the client or product type is clear.
2. Note layout and section patterns: Capture hero structure, social proof, pricing blocks, and footer patterns that fit your content depth.
3. Translate to your design system: Map inspiration to your spacing, type scale, and components instead of pixel copying.
4. Test with real copy length: Replace placeholder text with production-length headlines so density stays honest.

Tips for using inspiration sites

Curated galleries work best with a few constraints.

1. Favor one clear visual direction: Mixing unrelated references can dilute the brand; align mood before refining details.
2. Check accessibility in your build: A striking visual in a gallery still needs contrast, focus order, and readable type in your implementation.
3. Credit and licensing stay separate: Inspiration is for ideas; assets, fonts, and code need their own licenses in your project.

Great for

Roles that use reference browsing during discovery and art direction.

1. Product and marketing designers: Shape landing and marketing pages with contemporary layout references.
2. Agencies and freelancers: Show clients a shared mood without starting from a blank board.
3. Founders and small teams: Align on a visual bar before you invest in custom illustration or development.
4. Developers who design: Pick structural patterns for sections and navigation before you commit components.
