Some Cool Design Patterns

Chase — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:09:28 +0000

One of the Designers who works for me (Andrew Yeager) recently pointed me in the direction of a cool website that shares some pretty awesome graphic design patterns you could possibly use for a website. You need to link to the guys website of course to give him some credit. But he does allow you to copy the images and use them for your own or commercial use. The website is called dinpattern.com and I recommend it to all web designers and people building websites in general. Check out the website and share your feedback on what you think of the site. Also i’m interested in knowing about any other websites that offer the same type of goods!

Free Web 2.0 Logo Generator

I must say this is pretty cool. I have recently come across a free web 2.0 logo generator and the link can be found here. You can change colors, icons, reflections, and all sorts of things. It’s a pretty cool tool if you need to quickly pump out some kind of neat looking logo for a presentation or something. It’s helpful for me at Patientdocs.com because I have to create demo websites to show dentists who we are trying to sell our services too. Most dentists don’t have a logo, so I can quickly create one from this tool on the fly and put it up on my demo website.

If this tool could be helpful to you in anyway I suggest you go to that link above and save it in your bookmarks. I consider this a very helpful tool for me and hope it is the same for you.

A Free Favicon.ico Generator

I recently “stumbledupon” a cool little tool called the Favicon.ico generator. In case you don’t know, a Favicon is that little image in your address bar when you visit a website. It’s very important that your website has one of these because it shows how custom your website is. Any web 2.0 designer will express to you the importance of having a custom favicon for your website. I was tired of having to wait on my designer to create one for me all the time. So this tool is perfect. You just upload your image and convert! Bam! You now have yourself a Favicon.

Who is Hosting This Website?

I came across a cool tool recently while reading through the everybodygoto.com weblog, which I read often by the way due to it’s fantastic information. I recommend this blog to all my readers. The tool is called Who is Hosting This? located at www.whoishostingthis.com. The tool let’s you see what company is hosting a particular website. All you do is enter in a domain name of the site you want to view the hosting provider on and click the “tell me” button. They not only tell you what company is hosting that site, but they give you a link to their website. So give it a try. It’s a free service. Of course it is or I would not be writing about it.

Why would I need this? Good question. If you are running a business and have several websites with different providers it’s good to keep track of who’s hosting what. Also, if you have businesses you work with and what to recommend them to a better service like Bluehost, you can see who there provider is first. Then make your recommendation. Ha Ha!
