I like the ideas behind "Brutalist Web Design" [0] and "minimalist web design", and flat design aesthetics where content is treated as most important over presentation. Personally I'm more in favor of what I term "Capability Driven Development" [1], known by others others as "Resilient Web Design"[2]. I think good "visual design" should often be minimal or even abstract, just enough to invoke a feeling or emotion related to the content. True to form or materials, like a brutalist. I think "web design" should work for the lowest common denominator and level up depending on the capabilities of the end user. This means using real HTML form submissions instead of AJAX. The page should work without Javascript, but the user experience may be enhanced with AJAX if Javascript is present. Web pages are built out of HTML elements, it should work that way from bottom up. From my perspective a Javascript only websites (AngularJS) is the same as a Flash only website (which the industry has formally shunned).
