Hello.

Is there any books or sites recommended that teach good design techniques? I am looking to improve my web site designs. I have already read Nielsen's "Web Usability". Any others recommended?

Thanks

the best place to learn is out on the net. surf some sites. get a feel for what layouts work and which ones don't...

visit sites that are similar to the kind of service/content that you will be providing and see what works and what doesn't...

chances are if you think a site is hard to use, so will most other people...

when you find something interesting use 'view source' to see how they did it...
