Creativity in Web Design

[fguy64]

I'm relatively new to web design, but my HTML skills are pretty good. One thing I have found, is that I have no real flair for creative design. My pages are for the most part simplistic. I have a pretty good eye for what colors go well together, and I have confidence in how I can organize information, but my designs really don't look professional.

I suppose it's a lot like any artistic endeavor, especially when you are getting a late start like me. Either you got it or you don't.

What do you think? Any tips for improving creativity?

Check out other peoples sites, see what they did right and what they did wrong. Learn from their mistakes. Get ideas by surfing the web. A good place to look if your trying to get you imagination stirring is:

Good idea, risendead. There's certainly enough sites out there to get ideas from. It also occurs to me that having a good selection of templates could be useful also. And from what I can see, being good with css seems kind of important.

I checked out that link, yeah there's some good stuff there.
