Web Backgrounds

Hi,

I am looking for a site with decent backgrounds for web pages.

Whenever I search for web backgrounds there's heaps, but none that are any good. They all look like they've been done by 5 year olds.

I don't mind paying for quality stuff if anyone knows of a good site.

Thanks!
Jim.

Re: Web Backgrounds

No offence, but they're all terrible!

Maybe I should stop being lazy and make it myself...

Re: Web Backgrounds

If you have access to Photoshop (I use CS-8), it's extremely easy to make your own backgrounds.

I'm not a fan of complex backgrounds as it can give the page a 'cluttered' feel.
However, there's a good tutorial here, if you really must.
