Websites are made up of many different views and pages. One of the most important views is your administration panel – these are often coupled with custom web applications. The backend system is almost vital to managing users and editing page content.

But you have to get just the right look & feel for things to work out well. In this gallery I have gone through Dribbble and collected the most pristine examples of web dashboards. These are all designed for varying functions and you’ll pinpoint many discrepancies. Feel free to peruse the collection of user interfaces, and let us know your thoughts in the post discussion area.

The subject of video game websites is not often a popular idea. But consider how rapidly video games have advanced since the days of Atari and Nintendo. We now have so many publishers between America and Japan it’s difficult to keep track.

I put together this gallery as a look into past and present design trends. This collection of video game websites includes new releases along with titles published back in early 2000. Notice how each game brings it’s own feelings and emotions into the site layout. This is the perfect showcase if you are building a small website for a game publication – even a product launching for mobile tablets or smartphones. Video games are ingrained into our culture and they’re sure to entertain kids(and adults) for generations to come.

You’ve probably heard about them. Clients who won’t pay. Clients who treat freelancers poorly. Clients who pile on more work than the freelancer agreed to.

You may have even had the misfortune of working for one yourself. It’s not uncommon for freelance designers to wind up working for a scammer or a bad client.

Some freelance designers view this as an inevitable part of freelancing, but I say that you can keep many scammers and bad clients out of your freelancing business if you take the proper precautions.

In this post, I’ll share a checklist to help you identify scammers and bad clients. If you enjoyed this post, you may also like Is That Client Legit or Just a Tire Kicker?

Just back a decade ago everybody was talking about web 2.0 trends. The Internet was bustling with hundreds of new startup ideas following MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Twitter, and now even things like Foursquare and Pinterest. The advancing world of tech startups has proven there is no shortage of new ideas.

And when it comes to web design the scenario is very similar. I have put together 35 examples of new startups which feature brilliant layout designs. Some are web applications, others are social networks, and even a few sites are built around mobile apps. But all of these startups bring new ideas into an otherwise stagnant digital market.

Let’s say you’re getting to the point where you’re a whiz at quickly building quality websites. That’s the fun part of web design.

However, if you want to increase your income, you have to look at web design as a business. And, pricing is an important part of that business.

There’s no easy answer for how much you should charge for web design projects, but the first factor you have to consider is how long it usually takes you to complete a website.
