  Old  Trouble making a main layout

I'm trying to startup my website, EnzymeOnline. I've been working on several different layouts over the last week, and I haven't come up with anything that would fit my business. I'm having a REALLY hard time getting this done, and i'd like to have it up in the next two weeks. Anyone have any ideas for inspiration or what I should do? I'm stuck

Look at other sites for inspiration. At least once a month i'll spend a good part of a day just browsing the internet in search for a well designed site.

Some good sites to look at would be any website directory such as:

www.cssbeauty.com
www.bestwebgallery.com
www.styleboost.com

etc..

But remember your only looking for some inspiration and guidance. Don't COPY!

Hope you overcome your slum.

If you're looking for some great inspiration to get you started, I would suggest http://www.webcreme.com. I hope you can get over this designers block and come up with something soon, I know what it's like.

Alter your work area, try listening to music (or different music)... Try to get yourself in the best possible mood to design.

Design on paper first, then when you get a layout you like, build it up in Photoshop

This way I can throw together a couple of dozen ideas onto paper in an hour, compared to a couple of designs in Photoshop in an entire day.

Thanks, that will probably help me a lot.

I always listen to music.

Thanks guys.
