Use­ful web­sites that offer free web design tips & tricks, that will help a “non” devel­oper cre­ate bet­ter web site design.

Smash­ing mag­a­zine
I can’t get enough of smash­ing mag­a­zine, in fact I use their site just as much as Google, I love their arti­cles and if it wasn’t for the fact that it is not just a “web designer’s site” they would have topped out at num­ber one. They have just released a new book, I’m sure it’s worth tak­ing a look at.

CSS Play
I started design­ing sites way before CSS came along and couldn’t believe the things that the site owner was delv­ing out, he is a lot older than I had antic­i­pated – he has a great deal of knowl­edge and is always help­ing oth­ers learn the code, he is a very nice man, this is one of my all time resources for web design.

Dynamic Drive
Dynamic drive is a one stop shop for all your JavaScript needs, lately how­ever they have expanded off into “CSS” and Ajax as well as a lot of other web design medi­ums. They are must for any web designer and a fan­tas­tic resource for begin­ners to pros.

JavaScript Kit
JavaScript kit is a small library of use­ful scripts that aid design­ers in learn­ing the tech­nique, they don’t update their site very often, but the stuff they do have on their site is worth tak­ing a look at, espe­cially if you’re new to design­ing web pages.

Dhtml good­ies
Ajax is the new kid on the block and lately I have been fas­ci­nated with AJAX, I have included DHTML good­ies because I think they pro­vide a great resource for web design­ers look­ing to learn about the code they even offer free scripts.

Mini Ajax
Mini Ajax I think offers the best Ajax scripts around they even have pic­tures and detailed demos of how to con­struct the Ajax scripts your­self, this is per­fect for new web design­ers, right on down to the professionals.

Scripts
Scripts.com you can’t get more scripts than this, it’s a very use­ful resource as far as scripts go, most design­ers learn from exper­i­ment­ing and manip­u­lat­ing code, this is a great place to get pre-made code to study or learn from it.

Free byte
Free byte offers a wide vari­ety of resource­ful tools for web design­ers and devel­op­ers they also have a huge library of scripts rang­ing from html to PHP. Our own site has a list of very resource­ful CSS tips and tricks and web­sites that offer great free tuto­ri­als if you haven’t checked out already you can link to it click here.
