Mostly when I’m creating websites for my clients I find that I get caught in the ‘box-rut.’ Meaning I tend not to break boundaries and stay pretty confined to geometric shapes. Here is a list presented by Smashing Magazine for 50 Beautfiul Blog Designs.

Clients Reactions to Alternative Web Design

I’ve tried introducing a few alternative site layouts to my clients but they get a little scare. In today’s economy people are more interested in playing it safe rather than trying to break boundaries. You know, I understand that, I really do. However, the only way I got noticed was by making a site design that really highlights my strengths: web design and illustration. An odd combination, I know.

I’m pretty keen on making stuff that isn’t normal and it is my hope that more clients and prospective clients will want more alternative site layouts. I think in the future we as an internet fairing culture will want designs that push the envelope and try to break the box even more.
