Yet another redesign to come...

I'm not totally happy with what I have. I tried it, and I will keep certain elements of it, but I want to change the look and feel of it quite radically.

The big idea this time is to take an existing website, and use the stylistic elements, changing the text and graphics to make them specific to what I want.

So I've been going to random websites, via a random website website and bookmarking any sites that come close to what I'm looking for.

So far I've got:

http://www.tricatel.com/index-english.php
http://www.barbelith.com/
http://www.anime-supreme.com/news.php
http://www.freeevents.org/ (This is the one that seems most promising)
http://www.staysafeonline.info/
http://www4.callista.com.au/display/website/Home
http://www.nokarma.com/
http://www.mommy.com/
http://www.disneylandpostcards.com/
http://hirshhorn.si.edu/
http://www.gardens.com/
http://www.chairandthemaiden.com/
http://www.woodmereartmuseum.org/
http://www.candyfavorites.com/
https://www.eff.org/

What they all have in common is a clean, uncluttered display, easy to follow site navigation, and nothing too complicated that I'd struggle to work with.

I suppose there's an ethical issue here. If I download someone elses site into dreamweaver, and change all the words and pictures, effectively nicking their stylesheet, but not piggybacking their bandwidth, am I doing something morally suspect?

driving lessons in Wallasey?
