Skout.co.za - Web Designer's Playground

Whether you’re an aspiring web designer or a seasoned veteran, you likely find yourself in need of new ideas and inspiration. Apart from browsing the web and making note of certain sites which are particularly well executed, there isn’t always an easy and efficient way to see what other designers are doing.

However, sites like Skout provide a one-stop shop for all your web design needs and desires. Skout is a vast and thorough source of everything from fonts to stock photos, to frameworks. Using Skout is simple; just pick your way through upwards of one dozen different categories; Skout provides links to sites like TinyURL, Ruby on Rails, and iStockphoto. There are literally dozens of links under each of Skout’s design categories, and you can also submit your own site if you feel that Skout has overlooked something. There’s even an “inspiration” category which provides links to other design sites and blogs to serve as your muse.
