T he term brutalist web design was first coined by Pascal Deville, a founder of the brutalistwebsites.com. Even if you’ve never heard of this term, I bet you’ve probably visited a few brutalist websites without even knowing. Here’s how Deville defines a brutalist website:
“In its ruggedness and lack of concern to look comfortable or easy, Brutalism can be seen as a reaction by a younger generation to the lightness, optimism, and frivolity of today’s web design.”
When designing a brutalist website, aesthetic beauty is not even the fifth thing on your mind. This is probably good news for full stack developers who aren’t big fans of front-end. Nonetheless, there is still a difference between a poorly designed website and a brutalist website. The difference is that brutalist websites are ugly on purpose.
