As you may know, my design skills are... Rubbish.
I don't know if any of you are able to help me or can suggest a site that can.
But i need a template.
Will be used for a cms :) (Yes I'm giving it another go).

I'm looking for something with:

A title/logo space
Nav bar
Main content area
Use/module collumn

:) Like most CMS' :P

I just wanna test my PHP skills as I havn't used them in a very long time :P

ta :)

well i dunno weather youve seen the current default template for the cms but its nothing special, defiantly needs to be changed xD

but imo just go for some simple code and work off it, you dont need anythin too pretty to play with ur php skills

Rhys,

best bet is to do a simple layout with tables buddy.
Colspan = 3 for the top, then end that row.
For the main panels, just define the widths.
I find 10 10 and 80 work well.. Or 15, 15 and 70.

Just set a bunch of css styles to the elements, and volia.

You can actually make a decent layout if you use GFX and if you know your CSS.

Rhys, Welcome to the smart side of the force!
Frontpage is seriously bad... And MS even excluded it from their office suit because it's `helpfulness`.

RoMeO, that was harsh xP

Rhys, CSS is the way to go, Practice your use with tables, then slowly (And i mean very slowly) move onto div's..
It's quite a big move over, so good luck :)
