The difference between good and great webdesign is relatively small. The average person may not be able to explain the tangible differences that make up great design, but they can usually spot a design they like. By examining some awesome sites, I’ll attempt to put my finger on some of the small details that make up the difference. A little while back I wrote an article about the 4 Principles of Good Design for Websites, this article is somewhat of a continuation of those principles. In that article I went into detail about the important roles that contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity play in webdesign. This article will piggy back on those principles as I examine 6 ways you can take your webdesign from good to great. - Guillermo Salas

The 960 Grid System is an effort to streamline web development workflow by providing commonly used dimensions, based on a width of 960 pixels. The premise of the system is ideally suited to rapid prototyping, but it would work equally well when integrated into a production environment.

CopyPasteKiller is a free tool for .Net developers that will analyze a directory of code and find large chunks of similar code in multiple locations. This similar code can then be refactored either by creating a base class or by reducing the protection level on the method so it can be called by multiple classes. Technically, CopyPasteKiller should be called CopyPasteFinder because its up to you to remove the duplicate code, but CopyPasteFinder isn't nearly as fun a name as CopyPasteKiller. - Guillermo Salas

All I really use FB for is to Birthdays. If anyone replies to anything I share on it then I reply but that's it. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Since Facebook has the widest spectrum of talent and genius, I find that I can converse and share on a wider variety of subjects than are typically possible on the lesser networks. As such, I tend to use it more as a homebase, with other networks wired into it. It helps to have started with an large base of intelligent users with a wide variety of interests. It's demise would be the most tragic of the social networks, imho. - david beckwith

Teams can come up with a design and iterate over it in real-time in the course of a meeting. - Guillermo Salas
