So I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to release my third photoshop layer style set in the “clean” series. This set includes 15 green layer styles to help speed up the time you spend designing.

More Info and download after the jump.

These layer styles are perfect for navigation buttons for the web as well as many other uses. You are free to use these in commerical or personal projects. However you may NOT sell, claim as your own, redistrubute from your own website, email these files to your friends. Just send them the link to this page and have them download the files themselves. If you want to offer them on your blog or website you must link to this page for others to download. No Hotlinking. You do not have to credit me if you use these. Please enjoy and if you want to show me how you used them I would love to see it.

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

In my opinion, this article lays out some of the most basic do’s and don’ts when it comes to getting high rankings for your website. But the article goes much deeper into understanding the basics of good SEO. So check out the article and let’s get some higher rankings starting today!

50 Questions to Evaluate the Quality of Your Website

I think that it is worth a look. It raises some important questions that I don’t think everyone thinks about when evaluating their site.

When I design I try to take all of these things into account. It’s not always easy but it works.

If you need help implementing any of the solutions to any of the questions raised in the article or don’t know what some of those things are feel free to contact me…maybe I can help.
