Hey Guys,
So I'm going to be following the advice of many and "update my design style" into a more 2009 Web Design style.
I wanted to see where some of you would recommend I go for some good looking sites or templates that I could download and play around with.
Humbly yours,
Steve

I'm going to try and get a word in before this thread goes to hell... stay awaaaayyy from templates. Far far away. Trends come and go, usually suck, and are poorly represented in mass-consumption.
That being said, there are plenty of web galleries that you can look at for inspiration, but since I never go to them the only one I can remember is http://www.siiimple.com/

I throw another quick question on here before I get laid into :)
I'm thinking about taking some online classes in Website. I would like to learn more about writing code, and design ethic kinda stuff.
Any suggestions for online Design Schools?
- Look into lynda.com courses. Learn at your own pace and they cover many subjects.Complexfruit

1st you have to update your brand. its out of control at the moment.
then you can move-on to online.- +1. I'd also recommend looking at the history of graphic (et al) design before running straight for the web.ismith
- Where would be a good place to learn some of that? That's pretty much what I have been asking from the beginning. I really need to have a better concept of "DESIGN" in general.hubb7designs
