Had a bit of a dig at a friend today who has had a coming soon page on his personal portfolio for over a year! All jokes aside what do you do when you’re looking to buy something and the site has a bad design, or just a contact email (I leave!)

Quick one!

Envato are giving away free stuff to download from their Marketplaces every month, whether you’re into Audio, Video, Flash, Wordpress, Photoshop or whatever they’re going to get to you in the end, this months selections include the psd file for one of the most popular HTML/Wordpress templates from their ThemeForest Marketplace…

Before I start working on a website I will always ensure that I have a color scheme to work with. This is important for not only aesthetic reasons but also for creating a wonderful sense of consistency and familiarity to the website. At times clients will already have a particular color scheme in mind (say, two or three colors) or they will at least have one color they want the site to work around. If they aren’t sure then I will see what their graphical content is (logo, photos, icons, etc) for their website and see if I can find something to work with from there.

Some Love to some Twitter friends of mine to show off there great gift’s to the community by developing Photoshop Brushes and Textures for free download, Apologees for the quick scribbled nature of this post but I already made it once and due to a server move it vanished

Not being a designer means you have to HEAVILY rely on the talent and free offerings from other people to make your blog posts look as if they havent been created by Frankenstein.

Had to post this, thought it was funny!
