There is a lot more to a car than just the engine, and there is a lot more to a website than just the underlying control code. In my humble opinion, non-designers should not design websites, unless they are willing to take the time to research design techniques and best practices. If you're not willing to do that, you have no business building a website that will turn people away from the product that you are advocating. When I design a new website, I do just that - I create several mock-up layouts in Photoshop or GIMP. If you don't have access to these tools, use paper and crayons - it really doesn't matter. I solicit feedback. I tweak. When I have the design the way I want it, THEN I start coding. If you simply can't come up with design ideas, invite the community to submit layout ideas to you as JPEG or PNG files, and pick the one you like the best. You really need to have a good command over CSS. You need to have good command over usability practices. You ought to study up on coding for people with disabilities. If I may suggest a good book, check out "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffrey Zeldman. -- Erich Beyrent -------------------------- http://www.beyrent.net -- Smarty General Mailing List (http://smarty.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
