15 Sites That Will Inspire You To Become A Better Web Designer
I remember back in the good ol’ days when I first started gaining interest in web design, there weren’t as many websites that offered tips and resources as they do nowadays. I believe there were only 2 sites I frequently visited to help me improve my web design skills, it was Web Monkey and HTML goodies. These 2 sites are still pretty relevant to date, however, there are now thousands of web design sites that offer helpful resources, tools, tips and tutorials.
So whether you are a veteran web designer or an upcoming designer, here’s some sites that will inspire you to step up your design skills. (In no particular order)
Reader Suggested Websites For Further Inspiration
www.designmeltdown.com
www.graphic-exchange.com
www.sitepoint.com
www.csszengarden.com
www.techbranch.com
www.decographics.com
www.veerle.duoh.com
If you know of any other websites that you think is worthy of honorable mentions, feel free to post it on your comment and I will add them here.
You also might want to check out the books below, these will further develop your knowledge and perspective of web designing.

20 Examples of sites created with Synthasite’s free web editor. http://forsite.synthasite.com/

The only site I disagree with on this list is the W3Schools site. While they have a lot of tutorials, they don’t keep them up-to-date or respond to corrections. Having errors on a site like that is not surprising, but not fixing them when they’re pointed out is not good service, IMHO.
The other 14 sites you listed are absolutely great, however.
