Thanks Nitos!
This was definitely one of the most in depth layout tutorials I’ve written.
Well…considering one can learn everything from basics to -and including advanced HTML, CSS, and more for free, if you only bother to do a proper google search, this is not very impressive.
Why pay when you can learn it for free?
Design comes first, then you’d have to do the coding anyway in order to get the looks you’re after.
Simple and wonderful design..thanks for sharing this wonderful design…
love your share and many thanks
