Basically, its just experience. Keep working at it, you'll get better over time. If you like something particular about a site, take a look at the HTML output to see how they did it. Then try and implement it on your own site. Don't just copy it, because of copyright reasons, plus you won't understand how it works that way. One way to make a site look very immature is to have lots of flashing animated GIF's and pointless Javascript (like stuff that follows the mouse) - never do that.

Don't have anymore links at this location, but a google for "color wheel" ( In UK where dey spel bad - "colour wheel" One very usefull tool is EclipsePallette - a color picker. When I fire it up, it sits on the taskbar and let's me pick any color on the screen and then adjust that color selection. Can put the color code in the clipcoard in a variety of color code formats. Very usefull when you run across "just that right color". -------------

I think the most original content for templates is liquid2d.com Not a lot of material, but at least they're keeping themselves original |

hello, Can any one suggest for good sources (preferably free/ small yearly subscription based) that offer graphic images (that include buttons, pictures, etc.)? The sources need to be of latest design, and continually updated.

I spent the first few years of school in English schools. Had a hell of a time with the spelling when I got into the US educational system. Even now, I sometimes inadvertently use English spelling. -------------
