Examples of Brutalist Websites — Website — OUGD602

The extremities of brutalism in web design differ greatly, and quite often you can find yourself getting lost within them and spending much more time on them than other basic websites. This is essentially what you need in a portfolio website, grab the readers attention with how different the site looks in order to persuade them to look at the content within the site itself.

For example: http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org is a prime example of extreme brutalism within web design, showcasing creativity in the form of code:



This is obviously a novelty but it gives you a good idea of how effective these kinds of websites can be for grabbing your attention regardless of how unorganised they appear on the surface.

The benefit of functional, well built brutalist websites is they use modern code that incorporates unique elements that wouldn't be used in a conventional website.





This site uses CSS animation to engage the reader through horizontally scrolling type. It's beauty lies within its extremely simple and straight to the point usability, almost like refusing to beat around the bush, everything you need is on one page.

An even simpler execution using the same horizontally scrolling type, with only two links on the page, one that simply links you to the home page and another which it an 'emailto:' link.

This is probably the best example of a brutalist website, it features great user experience as well as all the visual flaws without affecting the speed or flow of the website too much.

Another element that is really great is if the user is inactive for longer than a minute a flag animation pops up with the logo flies onto the users screen.
