Web Design Tips

[RichardKnox]

Not a great example though due to the fact it's hardly a work of web design art. But I'm sure everyone will know what you mean and where you're coming from.

Okay take this site for example :
http://www.tajloro.com/ - No gradients but solid colour and it's beautiful.

Haha, i'll give you that one.

theres no style you should follow. Choose depending on your layout. If block colours work better, then use them if not then use gradients.

in PS, duplicate and merge layers which youre not sure what colour you want, go to adjustments in the tools menu and choose hue/saturation. mess around with the colours and choose the right one. choose the original layout and make the colours match that of the changed one then delete the merged layer

EDIT: people just dont like change on the new facebook layout. I think it looks a lot cleaner and much more modern than wat was on show before.

1 point to me It just goes to show you don't need 50 colours on 1 page to make it decent.

Quick little tip (don't know if it's been said)
ALWAYS comply with web standards.

That's exactly what we're talking about (the first part). Effects e.g. gradients should be used to enhance a user's experience.
