A popular trend over the past year or so has been using cityscapes,  landscapes and skylines in website design. It can take many forms, either being in the header or footer and sometimes its silhouetted in the background or right in the middle of all the action.  Usually these scenes are more illustrated than actual imagery but its a great way to show creativity and set your self apart from the competition.

Today lets take a review this popular trend by taking a look at 40 websites, tutorials and photoshop brushes that are dedicated to cityscapes, landscapes and skylines.

One of the first questions a client will ask you when you are tasked to develop a website is “how can I maintain it myself”.  It used to be a very daunting prospect to build in functionality allowing a novice to update their own website.  Today, the only difficult part is deciding which CMS you want to use.  When it comes to content management systems (CMS) and publishing platforms, there are more than enough to choose from and it all depends on what exactly you are looking to do.   While many CMS’s are overly complicated and require a certain level of technical expertise you may not have, there are a growing number of light, scalable and intuitive content management systems that will help you develop a dynamic website your client can update themselves.
