Any nice CSS design for non-artistic web developer?

Honestly I'm very bad at CSS and not good at dealing with color / design. Are there any helpful sites for things like pre-made, nicely skinned component, or layout of the whole site? Thanks!

This question is awfully vague.. and doesn't seem to have anything to do with programming.. – erikvold Mar 31 '11 at 21:35.

Here are a few: oswd.org/ openwebdesign.org/ solucija.com/free-templates opensourcetemplates.org/ for skeletal layouts: blog.html.it/layoutgala/ and few a few css tutorials cssplay.co.uk/layouts/index.html.

There ya go Joe, I upvoted yours to compensate. :) – Software Monkey Feb 20 '09 at 7:37 To be fair, I was going to anyway and forgot. – Software Monkey Feb 20 '09 at 7:38.

A slight tangent, but you may find the book The Principles of Beautiful Web Design an interesting read. It is aimed more toward non-designers looking to expand their design awareness.

I used the "Free CSS Template" website. When I created my web site they didn't have a lot of designs, but the ones they did have were clean, complete, and elegant. Pure XHTML and CSS.

I had no trouble tweaking to fit my needs.

One day I will work out why somebody downvoted this... the referenced website is perfectly valid as an answer to the OP's question. – Software Monkey Feb 20 '09 at 2:18 same thing for my accepted answer...why the sudden down vote on an answer that was accepted over a week ago? – Joe Feb 20 '09 at 5:48.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
