Single Function Websites

Advertisment

I like simple things. I have no room in my life for clutter and chaos. That is why so many of today’s homepages make my stomach churn.

Then along came Google, the wunderkind search engine who helped bring us back to basics.

Saluting single-minded Web sites is SingleFunction.com, a great destination that focuses on sites that do one thing and do it well.

Currently featured on the homepage:

LyricSift is a new cool website that discovers music based on lyrics

QuotesOnDesign is a really cool site that displays quotes from the movers and shakers of the design world

CopyTaste enables you to create your own private URL with the data you wish to share with your friends or colleagues.

According to the SingleFunction founder:

Being a big fan of simplicity, I thought it would be a good idea to share my passion… I decided to list my finds of single function sites, allow other enthusiasts to do so as well, and make it an effortless experience for anyone to find them.

The site doesn’t just showcase one-trick Web ponies, it also provides trends and analysis of the sites.

Visitors are invited to submit their favorites.

The only criteria is that the Web site carry out a single function and that it is free to use.
