Web Designers Free Resources

365 PSD has pages and pages of free PSDs that are available for download (at the time of writing) for both personal and commercial use. Whilst you shouldn’t stop creating your own elements, this is a great resource!



Vecteezy has an amazing amount of free vector art, free vector icons and free vector patterns available – the one important thing to note is that you must check the license for whatever you choose to download here. Not everything is available for commercial use period, some requires a back link and others may require you to pay for them to be used commercially.



Teehan & Lax have a great free PSD that contains a standard set of browser form elements in their blog, here. Great if you want to get everybody using the same elements, rather than grabbing them from everywhere. The set only contains Firefox for Mac and Internet Explorer elements, however. If you’re looking for a more complete set of elements, then Designers Toolbox also has Safari and Firefox for Windows elements as well.



Stack Overflow
One can’t go through free resources for web designers without mentioning Stack Overflow, or I can’t at least. Stack Overflow describes itself as a “Q & A for professional and enthusiast programmers” – but I find it’s also a great place for beginners as well. Don’t know what’s wrong with a slice of code? Stumped on how to make it work? Head on over to Stack Overflow, and chances are somebody has asked it before. If not – ask away!


Icons Finder, Icons, Icons! I’ve included two Icon searches in this post, and of the two Icon Finder is my (personal) favourite. I love it’s clean interface, which is very Google, and you can narrow down your selections by use with an easy dropdown – but I still like to double check the license if available, just in case it’s been miscategorised.




Find Icons is another very good icon search engine, with a slightly busier interface once you get past the initial search page.



Formalize ,As mentioned in my earlier comment about form elements for different browsers – by using Formalize you can give your forms one standard look across all browsers by including one javascript file and one css file.



Da Font: fonts, for free – and filterable by license. You can also preview your text first, so you can sort of ‘try before you buy’ without buying anything if you just want a free for commercial use font. Again, double check the license if available just in case it’s been listed as Free when it’s supposed be listed as Free for Personal Use. There is also the Google Web Fonts directory, which you can download from as well as use straight up with @font-face.



960 Grid ,Like them or loathe them, grids can be a great aid in designs, or just a great learning tool. The 960 Grid System has templates for near-enough everything, from Photoshop to InDesign and from Fireworks to GIMP available for download, as well as CSS and HTML generators


.
Pattern Wall, A good stock of patterns is a must for every web designer – Pattern Wall is one of several free pattern sources on the web. Double check licenses as standard, especially if you intend to also use them for any print work.
