A Question For The Webdesigners.

[lMattz]

Hey, i have made many of templates but i am slowly running out of inspiration and ideas. I was wondering where do you get your inspiration and ideas from. what programs do you use to make your templates etc. Can you direct me to any useful tutorials?

Thanks

I build what i need, i usealy doodle my designs before i build any "/

yeah i used to do that its a very good way you dont have to stop and think "hmm what shall i put there" or finsish the layout then remember you missed something you want out

I want to know where Joe gets his banners from for the layouts he does. I have ran out of ideas, but i look at loads of other sites and see why people like the designs.

Use what ever software you find easy to use, i mostly use fireworks.

I would say most tutorials are not worth it - they often just teach you one small thing, and people tend not to take them in!

If you want to learn PHP I suggest you visit PHP.net, somewhere there is a beginners guide!
