Help! I just got a domain, http://www.grindrail.net. It's an online skateboarding magazine, but I don't even have a design for it yet! I have tried two, one I have tried to use, but 247sk8mag (http://www.247sk8mag.com) already used a red bgcolor and gray pictures, as my idea was. If anyone can come up with even just an uploaded sketch of an idea, that may even be helpful.

That's far from an emergency. When you buy a domain it doesn't mean you HAVE to already have a design for it. Check out www.coolhomepages.com for some cool designs. It doesn't matter if you use a similar design as another site, as long as it's not 100% copied.

Her- did you ever notice that if you go to:
---
http://www.grindrail.net/

---
it's different then
---
http://www.grindrail.net./

Weird...

To Justin S.:
Exactly like who I am. I can't stand not being the person who builds a good site.

To anyone:
I found a good idea in CHP, a site called thunkdesign (thunkdesign.com), and I tried the main page design, except it's not a background image, and there is no bar at the bottom. Go to grindrail.net to see what I mean, do you think it's okay? Or has anyone seen any good ideas that I could use??

Agreed- just because you buy a domain doesn't mean you need to have a design ready. If you can't think of a design yourself, or can't get an idea from coolhomepages.com, you might consider hiring a web design company. Of course, this will only work if you are willing to put $$$ into it. On rare occasions you may find designers willing to make you a design to build their portfolio or in exchange for advertising (post in the jobs/barter forum for this). Also, you might check at www.freecenter.com - I believe they had some free designers listed a while ago.
Good luck.

Brian

... But if your like me you hate the idea of someone else doing the design of your site (even though that's what my job is) Yeah- I did a few free sites so I could build my portfolio...

Colors are nice- but that's about all I can say since I can't see much else...
