Hello. I do not post as regurarly as I would like to on this forum but I'll ask this question anyway.

I'm sitting here with dreamweaver open (in code view), I have added all the content to my pages but I can't think of what sort of layout or colors I should use.

I was wondering where do you guys get your inspiration from.

Thanks in advance,
Padraig

I use several 'insipriation' sites like www.webcreme.com, cssbeauty.com or css mania. There are more like that, tons more.

For inspiration, I look at art, and designs.
I also read books, etc.

I agree with LNR. CSS Beauty, CSS Zen Garden, etc. are great resources for inspiration.

Also, what is the goal of your site. I usually look at sites that are similar and find the ones I like the most, or pull from a collection of favorites of sites I love the colors or layout and apply it to my site.

Usually, I figure out layout...then color scheme.
