I've just become the new owner of http://designertuts.com a website that provides in the main free photoshop tutorials.

Its a Wordpress blog type site and is using the Torn theme from solostream.com so I can't claim credit (or take the flak!) for it really.

I am a bit worried the site is too ordinary looking especially for a photoshop site and needs a little something extra.

Any ideas?

Mike

Hi Mike,

A thinly-disguised linkdrop, but because of the funny goth makeover tute I'll overlook it!

In answer to your question -maybe. The basic design is clean and easy to use, which is no bad thing. The header though could do with a bit of work I think. It is no more than functional. Could you team up with an illustrator to do a new one every month perhaps?

Was it that obvious!

As you guessed I'm trying to build up my site in more ways than one.

But it was a genuine question. Elated.com also seems to go for the minimalist approach, so it obviously does work. I suppose content is the important thing.

Mildly obvious! I think content is important, but that said, differentiation doesn't hurt either.
