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
