For many, web design is a difficult challenge. If a company is well financed, it is probable they will just throw some money at the hottest design firm in town and get snowed and overpay due to their own lack of understanding of the process. But the vast majority of web design and web design needs stem from small business and personal web sites where money is absolutely of concern and for most the ability to produce a site on their own seems far from grasp.

For many, web design is a difficult challenge. If a company is well financed, it is probable they will just throw some money at the hottest design firm in town and get snowed and overpay due to their own lack of understanding of the process. But the vast majority of web design and web design needs stem from small business and personal web sites where money is absolutely of concern and for most the ability to produce a site on their own seems far from grasp.

But now with the help of easy to use GUI programs such as Dreamweaver and iWeb, even a fairly technologically inept user can at least get "something" going web wise. But "something" is hardly enough for most of us, so how do we improve upon our sites when the knowledge base that created them was dealing in limited capacity from the outset? Why, 3rd party web vendors of course! And recently I discovered my new favorite for all things web design related.

A friend turned me on to GRSites.com a while back and I haven't gone elsewhere for 3rd party design assistance since. The web design tools they have available are extensive and robust. From buttons, textured backgrounds and fonts to unique font logos, menus and text boxes, they have virtually every type of wing ding available for download and use on your own personal or small business site.

Their online portal is amazing. If you want a text box for your site but they don't have exactly what you are looking for, you can simply create it using a very simple to understand GUI that will kick out both a graphical display for your download and the html code that would create in an html editor. Simply phenomenal.

But simple text boxes are just the beginning of the possibilities. They have portals for every type of web wing ding imaginable. Create your own logo with blur, glow or crumpled paper effects just to name a few. Or perhaps you need some unique buttons, no problem, their GUI is there and waiting for you.

It is rare I take the time to write about 3rd party vendors I use but as the market becomes more and more crowded with garbage I think it is important to bring quality sites to the forefront. I hope other web consultants can benefit from the knowledge of GRsites web design tools as much as I have. Check it out for your next project.
