The document discusses the evolution of web design from complexity to simplicity, specifically the rise of minimalism. It covers how minimalist design has influenced different art forms like architecture, music, and visual art. The key technology enabling minimalist web design is Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which allows separation of structure and presentation. CSS has helped make modern web design simpler by composing sites of three main parts: structure, layout, and behavior. Case studies of sites like Digg, Flickr, Wikipedia, and others demonstrate the power of minimalist design, where less is more.
