Using Stock Layouts to Break a Creative Block

How to Break a Creative Block with Stock Layouts

No matter how creative of a web designer you are, there are times when absolutely nothing comes to mind for a client. It’s the dreaded creative block that we all face at various points in our careers. Over the years, one of the best techniques that I have found to break out of this block is to browse other designers’ work or to even start on a new site using a stock template. There are a lot of excellent designers out there who post templates for others to use either personally or commercially for free. Here are some resources to get your creative juices flowing again!

Remember to be sure to read the licensing files carefully. Designers provide information about their licensing requirements somewhere within the downloaded files if it is not clearly explained on the website itself. You can learn more about the various kind of Creative Commons licenses by visiting their website.
