How To Create A Brutalist Web Design (A Complete Guide)

As soon as we hear the term “Brutal”, something raw and violent comes to our mind, right? It’s something that probably you don’t want to see in your real life because of the negativeness it reflects. But a shocking fact is that people across the globe are loving sites with brutal designs. What’s even more shocking is that their love towards the brutal web design is growing day by day.

Have you ever thought why people are in so much love with brutal web designs? I’ll give you a few reasons for this and then you will be self-compelled to adopt this web design trend:

The very first thing about brutal web design is that they are completely unique
Second, they are based on the creative website structure
Third, they have a lot of unusual yet beautiful design elements

If that’s not all you can also see some graphics effect in the cursor when you start hovering on a brutal website. All of these together create a brutal web design which instantly draws the attention of visitors.

A Comprehensive Guide To Create A Brutal Web Design

Before we start, I would like to put forth some basic points about your website. If you are coming across the brutal web design for the first time, probably you don’t want to adopt it right away. This is because once you implement this type of design on your site, it’s very likely that your potential client won’t like it at first. However, you can add certain elements of brutal design to your site in the beginning and see how it appears. If they increase the user engagement on your site, you should definitely keep them there.

Coming back to the method of brutal website development, there are two main routes you can take:

Choose a WordPress theme with brutal elements
Sketch out complete brutal design

As far as the first method goes, the choices are very limited and you may find a website that uses exactly the same theme you use. Some of the brutally-developed WordPress themes I would like to suggest are FlowMag, Glitch, and Brutal. Just pick any of them that suits your taste and then you can develop a brutal website easily.

In case you don’t find the above theme perfectly alright to create your brutal site, you can contact our Wordpress website design company to build a custom brutal theme for you.

If you didn’t like the first method, you can also create a brutal web design by adopting the second method. Simply create a non uniform design using your hands that may not look like general websites but have some eye catchy elements.

And when you decide to use the second method to create a raw-looking website, you’ll likely want to have a flat base. In that case, you should choose a minimal WordPress theme that allows you to add beautiful design elements and other components to your site without any fuss. To get a clean and minimal WordPress theme you can search for free themes developed by WordPress or its managing company Automattic.

Though there is no issue in creating a brutal web design with hand, I’ll recommend you to use any one of the popular page builders because that will speed up the whole process. Besides that, you can play safe while creating a brutal website by not locking the web design so you can reverse the changes in future. You may feel the need to do so if your potential clients don't like the design of your site.

From our own experience, we can say that Elementor would be the perfect choice for you if you are looking for excellent page building tools. And the most compelling reason I can give to back up my claim is that it offers a “blank-slate” default theme using which you can create an outstanding design for your brutal website.

If you are not able to create a brutal web design yourself, you can give a chance to the creative designers of our Los Angeles web design company.
