I'm a programmer, I can build a web site, but the pages looks ugly. I don't know how to choose the colors, how to design the icons. Building a simple website cost me several hours, but tried to make it beautiful will cost me several days.
I don't want it as nice as those famous websites, but I want it clean, and all pages have same styles.
Thank for any helps.
UPDATE
For icons, I know there is a good site http://www.findicons.com
I have also downloaded several tools like "Color Scheme Designer", and I even know how to use "Photoshop/Fireworks", I have read some books about design. But, I found I'm lacking artist spirit, the page I have designed are always not nice enough.
What I'm looking for, is something like ZK, see its demo, which defines some common widgets with nice styles. I hope to find some similar plugins or tools can be used in rails.
UPDATE
I just tried http://colorschemedesigner.com, and found the "Light page example" and "Dark page example" is very usefull. Thank you!
