I am kinda stuck for ideas on my website design.
It is for a company called Lennox which basically aids in the making of 3d apps and websites and maybe might make a few programs in the future.

I have the slightest idea of how to make one of the content boxes, but that's all.

So could anyone post any ideas or a quick sketch on photoshop and maybe some tips, to help me get past this horrible horrible stage of website creation.

It would be much appreciated

: also if you need more information just post because I really am desperate as I have a v.short space of time to get this site on the web...

(And also links to any good cheap host sights, that allow PHP, MYSQL, CGI/Perl and ASP with no banners and available to change DNS so I can buy a .com name)

If I do not reply please PM me

Hm.. Talking about design... There ARE actually some steps to go:
1) Sketches // Or in your mid is aceptable as well
2) Concept // Watever concept that suitable for your website, not your theme!
3) Idea // This is also same like theme or whatsoever you called it
4) Develop it!

Most people goes to the 3rd step when it come to design. Or 2nd step for some proffesional That's all Sorry for too much to read

I normally go through all four forementioned steps

[-Michael-]

First I think, what is it for? How big does it need to be? Is it going to expand?

Then I get a general idea in my mind of the different menus and stuff, I then make a sketch using the marquee tool and stroke.

Before I even start designing, I choose a color scheme. I already have a little pallette made out with every color I will use before I begin.

I always tart from the top and work down, as it's easier for me. It's not a fast process, developement of a decent layout should take a while(days sometimes).

Don't rush, no hurry. If you can't seem to think of anything, save and comeback tomorrow. I have some days where I am just oozing creativity, others, I got nothing, nothing will go right, creativity and ideas come and go on their own, you can't make them come all the time.

If it's for a 3d company, the first thing that pops into my head is an Oob (Out of Border) image
