It would have been really useful if the website examples to which you refer also had at URL links at best, or just their domian name addresses at worst. Thanks. Nice piece of prose!

For this, design of today’s Web applications is being led by a principle of simplicity & innovation. Thanks for this useful summary, it will help a lot for web designers to understand more deeply the today's scinerio.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

I wonder though that the section <em>Simplicity of Design</em> would be better described as <i>Simplicity of Graphic Design</i> or <i>Simplicity of Visual Design</i>. Further the conflation of design styling and current trends with simplicity itself is a great diservice. The implication is that rounded type and rounded corners and reflections and bold logos all equal simple. This is just not the case. Pointy corders and no reflections and small logos can be just as simple. That these are current trends as you state, is true. That these are designelements that are inherently <strong>simpler</strong> than others is false. The advent of simple, clear navigation and self-assured (an excellent descriptor) centered content areas with nice whitespace are indications that good, principled design is truly making itself felt and is contributing greatly to web user experience.
