2008 has brought some big changes in the design trends. One of the major ones was the end of the so called “glossy revolution“, the wrongful design interpretation of the web 2.0 current. You know what I am talking about : the glossy, vivid and colorful logos and website designs, the major usage of reflections and two tone colors. This style is used less and less, and some new design trends are starting to emerge (the vintage style seems to be catching on)

The sites below are the most representative designs, collected by us for our CSS and Flash Web Gallery. Apart from the showcase we added a little description of each website so you can get an idea what’s it about.

I’m a huge fan of Photoshop, it’s a fantastic tool for pretty mucha anything, however when it comes to web design my favorite tool has to be Fireworks. I’ve been using Fireworks since I don’t know when but I can say that its vector capabilities combined with pixel precision positioning make very easy to design websites.

Also I used this design firstly to review a service that gets your design and code it for you. Then I decided that it would be nice to explain a bit of how I designed that site. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a single page site for your personal portfolio.

Step 1

The first thing to do when designing a website is structuring. You will need to set where the elements of the site will be, the navigation, main content, sidebars, footer, and etc.. There

Post written by Dor Dan

As you might already know, good web design – in most cases – should contain basic elements such as easily used (yet beautiful) navigation menus, attracting headers, well written content, and for last, footers.

The new trend is the Web 2.0 style. Now let’s face it, we see them quite a lot and we can’t disagree with the fact that they are simply awesome! Here is where
