Sam Flood Presents…

Sites For Inspiration…

• Design Panoply - http://www.designpanoply.com/

• Web Designer Depot - http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/

• CodeCanyon - http://codecanyon.net/o This is a site that houses elements that

different people are selling.. Kind of like the craigslist of website design. Even though you would have to purchase the templates, it’s still one of the best collections of top of the line and trending websites that I’ve seen. This is my favorite.

Sites that do Top 50 type things every month are nice to look at for a wide variety of current best practices:

• Design Razzi - http://www.designrazzi.net/

• Designs Crazed - http://designscrazed.net/

Twitter:

• @snookca — A goofy, yet really smart web design guru

• @webdesign_news — Boring name, but tweets are time saving and informative

• @sitepointdotcom — not a huge fan of their website, but their content is good
