Hip and Fabulous Web Design.

You MUST MUST check this website out if you are an aspiring web designer or a seasoned one for that matter!  I am a big fan of current trends...and thinking outside the "box" when it comes to web design.  I can't wait until I'm THIS good.

Programming class...I KNOW you'll pay off.

Website ambience...

I found this AMAZING portfolio site of a fellow web designer.  I'm highly inspired by the use of soft, yet vibrant colors from photography.  I found the web page images to be insightful, and I love the way the functionality of the site is positioned, off-center, and to the right side of the page, allowing for the photographic imagery to do the selling and set the mood.
