Web Online Resources

There are thousands of sites claiming to offer the best resources on designing web pages and writing HTML. However, a lot of these sites are simply instructions on how to create your own "home" page, and are not very helpful to those seriously looking at important web design issues. I have found a few really great sites that explore web design from a designer's standpoint, and still help you find information on how to put it all together.

It is important to note that a really good (and fun) way to learn about good web design is to look at bad web design. For the purpose of instruction, I am adding a blue star rating to indicate sites which are well-designed AND offer good content.
