Httpster alternatives
Httpster picked typographic, minimal, brutalist websites from 2012, but its newest is from May 2025. Where to find that eye now.
The short answer
Httpster’s newest site is from May 2025 and its submissions are closed. For the same eye, Minimal Gallery adds minimal sites every day, Siteinspire files 2,105 sites as typographic, and Hover States collects experiments. To search sections by describing the look, typographic, brutalist or quiet,

What is Httpster?
Httpster is a hand-picked gallery of websites with, in its own words, “typographic, minimal, brutalist vibes”. Dominic Whittle founded it in 2012 and curates it with Tom Fitzgerald. It features 3,116 sites, filed by style, such as typographic, minimal, unusual layout and photographic, and by type.
Submissions are closed, and the newest site on its home page was added on 26 May 2025. The archive is still up, and still worth a browse.
Why people look for Httpster alternatives
- It isn’t being added to. Its newest site is from May 2025 and submissions are closed, so nothing made since is in it.
- Whole websites. Each entry is a website. To compare one kind of section across many sites, a library cut into sections is quicker.
