Why my site looks messed up on other computers?

It must be more than disheartening to spend multiple hours or even days on a design only to realize that it looks all messed up on your friend’s  or worst – your customer’s screen. Many beginners think this must be their fault but don’t know how to fix this and give up on designing for good. It is not as easy to seek for advice on this matter, because although there are many web professionals who are generally willing to help, you will simply have too many questions to ask. Also these questions often cannot be answered right away – it involves trying, testing, previewing, then trying again. This is why when it comes to optimizing your web design for different screens and browsers you are mainly on your own.

The good news that with the evolution of screens and browsers, growing availability of preview tools our task becomes easier every year.  You absolutely can master this art and you absolutely have a chance as a web designer.  Please read this article for details.

This website is not older than a couple of weeks but you can already find quite a few templates that you may like and they are free to use. In fact, as long as you bring something good to this world  we will feel honored if you use them.

So far these templates are regular HTML+CSS templates for websites, but we are working on contributing more designs to WordPress – the generous host of this blog.

Finally, I should say it is a pleasure to do this work – something I’ve always heard about but always felt it only happens to some other people. You know the feeling when you hate to go to sleep at night but force yourself because you are fainting from tiredness, then wake up in the morning all excited about the work you are going to do today. In this world full of negatives, it’s a great pleasure to make something beautiful each and every day. And this is when you never envy somebody else’s success, because you are simply so much in love with the work itself you feel sincerely happy for others and take pleasure looking at other people’s beautiful  work.
