this is really beginning to bug me now!
setting up my business, i have a website to build but every idea i look at once ive got somewhere with it i think its crap and i start again or ill build a header and get a nice series of images set up and what not but then ill get stuck how to connect it to the content areas below it
really annoys me, i think ive done close to 10 ideas for this website, and ive written them all off because there i think there crap
i just never seem to be happy with my own work

I think you will find nearly every designer is like this. Moobrack has had about 5 designs for his website microvisuals....he changes it every month lol.
Solution? Hire someone else and be done with it.

im having the exact ssame problem right this minute
what usually works for me is it just forget about it for a day or two, dont even bother with it then one night when you have nothing to do sit and draw out a design on paper, you can get a idea how you want your layout to be then the next day open up PS and create it

i tried this kind of thing before, kind of worked
i was stuck for ideas so i shut off the pc, went and listened to some tunes, drew out a sketch, colours, looked great in my head and on paper,
opened up ps, started it, looked crap in my opion, binned the paper and deleted the ps file
i just seem to try to hard.
ive got a couple of 3ds max renderes that i would like to use in a website, i just cant figure out how or what really i want to do with them.
the thing getting someone else to do it, is it wouldnt be my work, i dont like the idea of that, just doesnt seem right to me. but maybe i might have to resort to this.

if your using renders keep them subtle and minimalist, when there too bold you will find it hard to get the site to 'fit'
good luck making the site anyway, if you manage to get happy with a design be sure to show us

Moobrack.. There's a name I haven't heard for over a year..
Anyway, yeah.. I always end up getting like that. I can't stand it. Though nowadays, I make a design, it ends up on my site for a few months, then me and my co-admin end up changing it.
Same will happen with up & coming business site, too.
Try asking people if they like it. They may point out things that you like about it too, and you might end up thinking more of it than you used to.

i'm sure everyone is like this.
i've completely started over - name, purpose, eveything for similar reasons before.for my latest one, i've already come out with 2 designs in a month. i've suprisingly liked my last one though.
regardless the ones i've ditched, i've kept for future ideas and it's paid off quite well.

I'll let you all in on a little secret
When it comes to designing your own website, you can never settle (or I can't anyway). This is interpreted by me into the fact that after working with clients for so long, you are used to being set some boundaries to work within in order to deliver the final product properly. When designing your own site you have no boundaries or limitations as to how far you can stretch your skills....making it a problem being able to settle on something.
Try setting yourself some limits, write it down on paper and go through it making notes, you'll find that this works really well.
