The term Brutalism originates from the French word for “raw” used by architect Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material béton brut (raw concrete). These One Page websites often display information in a raw, uncomfortable but also playful way.
I hope this round-up of 25 Brutalist-style Landing Pages inspires you to get adventurous with a future project:)
1. Ethics for Design (Movie)
Unique One Pager hosting interactive documentary Ethics for Design. The experience really is remarkable where you resize the viewports to your preference, each hosting elements related to where you are in the story. Awesome to discover developer Sylvain Julé built the site using Kirby and also add the whole project to Github - cheers!
2. Antwerp Poster Festival (Event, Landing Page)
Brutalist One Pager for the Antwerp Poster Festival featuring a neat intro type feature that changes as you move your cursor.
3. Craig Jackson (Game, Personal, Portfolio)
Fun One Pager for digital designer Craig Jackson featuring an interactive game where your score lives on his site forever:)

4. The 99% Sale (Landing Page)
Brutalist Landing Page for the Black Friday 99% Sale over at Cards Against Humanity. The hilarious marketing campaign features a bunch of spoof products all at only 1% the cost:)
5. NU:RO Watch (E-commerce, Landing Page, Product)
Slick Landing Page for a minimal watch called NU:RO. The long-scrolling page features a perfect intro watch demo, a hover sensitive strap color changer, gorgeous big product imagery and brutalist typography. Note how the clear CTA buttons simply link out to a Shopify store - making this is a classic marketing Landing Page. ps. through a bit of a deep font hustle (step 5) I discovered the typeface used is called Roobert - first I've seen in the wild.
6. Sim Sim Falafel (Restaurant)
Colorful and unique One Pager built using Webflow for Sim Sim Falafel. Make sure you check out the pretty trippy intro cursor-sensitive feature and neat touch with the Hand Emoji (in the footer) that turns to the Star Trek sign over hover.
7. Andrea Grasso (Personal, Portfolio)
Minimal One Page portfolio with a hint of brutalism for designer Andrea Grasso. Neat touches with the local Barcelona time, his latest track played, the color scheme inverter when clicking the logo and how the cursor adapts with instructions (info, copy, open) when hovering links. Cheers for the build notes Andrea!
8. Onemadlab (Launching Soon)
Brutalist One Pager with a text scroller and real-time clock for Onemadlab design studio.
9. TAAALKS (Event)
Colorful One Pager with a brutalist design for the TAAALKS event that took place in April in München.
10. William Richardson (Portfolio)
Wonderfully unique One Page portfolio for freelance graphic designer, William Richardson. When you click anywhere within the blank canvas a new portfolio item appears - each draggable and resizable. What an awesome touch with the additional features to clear the canvas, delete a single item and even download a screenshot of your curated version of William's portfolio to reference later. Kudos

12. Livia Satriano (Music Related, Personal, Service)

This is truly a unique website capturing all the interesting things Livia spends her time doing. Awesome touch with the navigation placed on music bars, the spinning vinyl, the interactive vintage book cover section, the scrollable movie posters and the repeating contact buttons in the footer.
