With new technologies flooding the web, different tools are available with which a web designer can showcase his creativity and craft. But despite putting in the effort and sweat, numerous websites with fantastic creativity fail to get noticed. Also, the surge in designing is driving designers to dig for creativity, color schemes, and layouts.
Keeping these aspects in mind, we came up with a compendium of best CSS directories, CSS showcase, CSS galleries that rank/grade websites (using CSS) on the basis of “Alexa ranking”, colors, categories, tags, ratings, and RSS.
If you feel that a particular site is worth to get showcased, then drop the URL’s in your comments so that they become a part of our next list.
If you found this article useful, digg it to ensure that a designer’s effort doesn’t go unnoticed.
