What it is
Minimal Gallery is a web design inspiration gallery running since 2013, focused on minimalist "beautiful and functional" websites. It catalogs real sites, premium templates and curated design/dev tools.
When to open it
- When you need references for a specific minimalist style (portfolio, agency, e-commerce, SaaS) by filtering on site type.
- When you want to see what a specific platform (Framer, Webflow, Readymag) does well before choosing it for a project.
- When you're looking for curated design/dev tools instead of a generic list.
Most useful
- 80+ site-type categories (portfolio, agency, e-commerce, SaaS, personal, startup, AI, fashion, music, healthcare, real estate, photography and more).
- Filter by build platform: Framer (123 sites), Webflow (18), Readymag (22), plus Shopify, Squarespace and WordPress.
- A Templates section (premium templates) kept separate from the Websites section (real references).
- A Tools section with subcategories: design, development, fonts, icons, productivity, SEO & marketing, social media.
- Bookmarking/collection system and a weekly newsletter of new additions.
Using it with agents
The site offers no export or MCP; using it with agents is manual: open a site as a visual reference, describe it to the agent (palette, typography, layout, density) and ask it to replicate the style, not the code.
Watch out for
- No code export or AI features: it's purely visual inspiration.
- Mixes organic content with templates and sponsorships, so it's worth distinguishing real reference sites from products for sale.
- Quality varies since it accepts community submissions.
Reusable ideas
- Filtering simultaneously by "site type" and "build platform" helps find realistic references for the stack you'll actually use.
- Separating premium templates from real sites prevents users from confusing inspiration with a product for sale.
- A weekly "what's new" newsletter keeps the catalog driving recurring traffic without redesigning the homepage.
