Great Site Backgrounds
April 16th, 2008 | by timm |
I found an article today that contained some excellent examples of websites with great backgrounds. The article is posted at Six Revisions, Useful Information for Web Developers and Designers. Creating a good background is a critical component of setting the tone for any website. I like many of the examples he chose. In particular, I really like #8, #10, #18, and #20. Wow…can you tell I like earth tones?!
Now, I’m off to search for a good cork background (think bulletin board). I like the texture of cork and I think it makes a great background for some sites. So, if you have a good example of a cork background, let me know please. Thanks!

How’s the cork board tile search coming along? I’ve been on one of those missions myself and believe you me, getting a realistic looking corkboard bg while not breaking the bandwidth bank for image size has proven more difficult than expected.
If you’ve got any tips or found anything yet please let me know (I’m a man in need) and I shall surely do the same!
Cheers

Hi Jake,
It has been a fruitless search so far. I’m actually shocked at how hard it has been to find a good, realistic looking corkboard background. I’ll keep searching and hopefully one will turn up shortly. When I do find it, I will proudly share it in its own special blog post!
Thanks for asking about it. I’ll definitely let you know when i find a good one.
