Hi, I am looking to create a new website for a potential online promotion service. The business will go under the name of RyanPromotions.

Anyway, I have hit a wall in the design stage of the website. The problem is, I am lacking ideas for the site. I have tried different designs but none of them really work for me.

I am just looking for a simple website, no fancy graphics or anything, just information and a picture on each page.

 

I was wondering if someone could knock up a quick template I could then try and replicate.

 

If someone could do this it would be hugely appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ryan.

When lacking inspiration I find going to sites like themeforest etc help. You can look at a variety and feel freshly invigorated to take on your new design with some confidence.

 

Good luck

Ok thank you I'll take a look there

I've looked but still no luck in the ideas department

99% Perspiration, 1% inspiration - remember?

 

When devoid of inspiration which is probably quite often, just get to chugging stuff around, trying different things, combinations etc. - sometimes you even find something by accident that'll work, in fact quite often.

 

In other words, the inspiration is generated by the perspiration.

 

Anyway, inspiration's overrated in my opinion. I think the thing is if you hang around too long for "inspiration" you never get anything done. Sometimes you just have to make it look professional without much inspiration at all.

Think about say a tattoo artist doing custom work. They chug it out, everyone's happy with it but a lot of it is very similar or based on something they've done in the past. What you pay for is the quality and professional polish of the product.

 

How many people on here can say that every design they do is some kind of groundbreaking "inspired" design - I'm guessing the majority of the work is well turned out reworks of other stuff, usually done in the past by that designer.

 

You've got certain "standard" techniques. Run through those and see what happens. Sometimes it's just a grind.

 

Failing that, learn some new techniques just for the sake of it and apply them. See what happens.

Ok thanks very much for the feedback everyone, I'll take your advice on board

It's like I always say - If you could see Shakespeare's waste paper basket, it would be an eye opener.

Can anyone possibly take a look at ryanpromotions.clanteam.com?

It is just an amateur site so can I ask you to bare this in mind.

Also I am in the middle of getting a proper full domain so don't comment on this please.

Thanks in advance.

Apologies, the website is now at ryanpromotions.eu5.org
