This web design agency definitely knows how to use web design effectively. This site's design is very simple and clean, but its colors are eye catching and the setup is very easy to navigate

While looking for cool website designs I stumbled upon quite a few that I really liked. Turns out, a lot of them were designed by this guy. He is awesome.

Scott Schuman is The Sartorialist. He has created an intriguing person-on-the-street photography blog. His work influences the fashion design industry and trickles to many other design disciplines. I like the spirit of the site, and hope to incorporate this in my own photography.

Cool and simple photo blog!

This blog discussed many web design topics. This particular post by Scott Gilbertson is a discussion on readability. Trends on typography and removing clutter.

This article was written/posted a year ago, but I found it interesting -- detailing some "trends" in web pages. Some of the ideas (like hand-drawn designs) are probably way beyond our reach. I hope at least one of these sparks something, lets you think outside the box for your next installation! :)

CSS-Tricks is a "Web Design Community" dedicated to helping css novices and experts alike.

Lots of fonts to look at and consider!

A nice looking portfolio site. So simple and straightforward! Carl Carbonell's site was selected by HOW magazine as one of October's top 10 sites for designers. He could have probably set up his store and blog all one one site with WordPress! (he didn't)

While cruising around online, I came across this page that discusses some pitfalls of web design. Thought it might be appropriate and even helpful for us in the last leg of our own designing.

I hope this link is "legal" (if it's not, I apologize), but there are some "tricks" to get super-fancy with your blog HTML.

A blog, where the author blogs in 50 words or fewer, I believe. Also an interesting design to look at.

Make a great color scheme! I play with this site all the time. You can have a monochromatic scheme, a complement, analogic... and so much more. There are also options so you can see what your color scheme might look like to a color blind person!

Article about Jakob Nielsen who wrote "Prioritizing Web Usability" and if you take a look at his site it's extremely minimal and I would argue doesn't follow the usability guidelines we discussed in class. \n\nThis is an article about why.

UX is user experience. It's interesting to think about in terms of usability - the visual experience is important to a successful website not just functional features like links and a pretty header

After doing an online search I came across a collection of WP themes.\nSmashing Magazine has many resources (many are free) for anyone designing a website. I am looking at portfolio, magazine and other visual display themes.

Pretty great article on how to use your logo to maximize your brand's exposure!

I thought this gave a great description of what colors to use and avoid when designing your site in order to make it more accessible for the colorblind
