great links! I will check those out

Wow thanks for making this thread crystalbox and thanks everybody for sharing the links. those are some awesome websites.!

I also like webdesignerwall, a very old skool site, with lots of users. Webresourcesdepot is another one I frequent.

as a aspiring web designer, you really have to learn a step by step process in order to gain a professional knowledge about web design. Those links above can help you to attain your goal but the thing is, all is still up to you to learn..

Also if you have photoshop download some free web template PSD files they can give you an idea on how to do a layout : here is one I've done just a quick concept http://ziovex.com/ziovex-template-1.html

I gotta say http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/ too. I have referenced it a lot lately

Google "website design" for different cities in different countries - then look at the portfolio of the different web designers. See for your self what works and what doesn't; make a favourites list of interesting masthead effects, interesting navigation, interesting shapes etc.

For the basics, check out standard website design tips or web design beyond the box

http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/ is good

There are lots of websites who offered tutorial designing.
All good links have been said.

This I'd agree with :-)

Search for some tutorials on Google and try to find something with photoshop training involved as well.

Oh, and learn photoshop too )
