1. first you have to know what the site is about..
2. Be creative, nothing is impossible.
3. make an sketch.. of what you want to make (just pencil and paper)
4. now you have an sketch, but it have to be digital, you can scan the sketch,
or make it with you designing program. use the basic figures: Circles, Rectangles etc..
5. now you have the lines in your software, fill it with a gradient, color patern.
it depends on your idea,
6. work towards the details.. dont start with the small things untill you finished the "big"parts...

NOTE: making a layout costs time, you will see problems.. dont know how to make something, Dont worry! ppl from designing sites made their websites to help others.. just ask for help,

i love making layouts but at the same time i HATE it just because of how long it takes me, im a steady worker, but once its said and done i love it! Very Happy

hmmm, I think it is better to work on individual parts of the page. Working on the whole page as an image then "slicing" it never really appealed to me. But that's just my opinion

actualy i make small parts of the site too.. but i put them together in photoshop and slice it then..

I always make a sketch this helps to make the production faster and better guidelines. Goos tips but i dont really use them all, but if your new these certainly help Smile
