Before getting started, I would like to say that this is a “Short Review” of a new website of one my friend and the one who sponsored few of my wordpress themes.
Myself being a web designer, I love CSS and will always keep learning new things. CSS sounds kinda complicated, but when you start learning it you will come to know that it is just a jigsaw puzzle. All you need to do is plan the layout of your template or theme whatsoever and then slice & combine them if it is PSD or just combine them if you had created those pieces individually (which I do).
Well, if this is the first time you are reading about CSS and wondering what it is, you may read this wiki article.
Things you can do in CSS will sound very limited in the beginning, but as the time passes you will start doing new things which will amaze yourself. There are many myths that says CSS is very limited, but not when you see a site called “CSS Play” - Well that is way too professional work that can be done and achieved from CSS.
To learn CSS there are many sites, such as w3schools . After learning CSS, you can create your own templates and themes and then submit to many sites for free or you may sell it. But its good if you begin by submitting your theme as a Open Source Templates so that you will come to know whether people really like your work or not. There are many such sites available to submit your open source templates among which OSWD is popular. Since it is popular, there is very less chances that your template will be published soon. So I prefer “Open Designs“. You can see some of my web templates here. By the way, sorry for too links, but I have to. So now you came to know things about CSS (not the code, though).
As the title of this post says, CSS Portal is a website, which has many things! (so called “Portal”) where you can learn CSS and create your own themes and after doing that you can submit it to the same site! And whats more, he has another site called “Generate it“, which is easy to use and add new jazzy stuffs to your template easily such as buttons and reflection etc. And soon after you start designing, you may gain popularity and will wish to have your own website to showcase your work to the mass. To do that, you will need to buy a webspace and a domain name. You can buy those two from a web hosting service providers. There are thousands of such web hosting companies and you will be throne into dilemma. So the CSS Portal also has a site, that will help you decide and make your deal easy. eHost Info is their site which has reviews and a directory of many web hosting providers.
So the conclusion is, CSS Portal is a website where you can actually “learn” many things and finally get into the world of web designing and eventually you can make money out of it!
