Sheesh, I have a client that is wanting a website for like a youthgroup type thing and I'm having a tough time coming up with a good way to implement a design. The main problem is that he wants the colors to incorporate like a teal color with brown/tan. In my opinion, that's pretty ugly but that is what he wants. He already has a logo too, which has different shades of teal and then some white in it. Any ideas or pictures of examples will be appreciated greatly.

The main thing that you need to know before web designing is to keep Clean Consistent Layout and Navigation. A clean consistent layout, That uses a lot of white space with neat navigation will enhance your site surely and try to keep the focus on your content. All pages or a group of pages have one basic design and only the content varies.

The conception of a logo starts with the idea to personify a company’s image using graphic design. There is literally no captivity of thoughts when it comes to designing a logo. So in a nut shell, an ideal logo is a lengthy process.

A clean layout that uses lots of white space enhances the appearance of a site. Make sure all your important links are at prominent places. Preferably just above which is normal when a visitor sees first. Enjoy the menus to the right and left.

See when you are working for a client then you have to do what he does like weather it is ugly or beautiful. So just do what he is asking you to do. It is as simple as that

It is really tough to get the correct color for to fit your requrements. Reading your post and reply I too learn how to make one, because I am really poor in mixing color .

Some good answers so far. It can be a challange getting everything just right but I always feel as if it's a work in progress.

I would suggest keeping things as simple as possible, it can really backfire on some sites that are way over the top and out of control. It's important that the users understand the site they are using, by this I don't just mean the text they are reading or the images they see but the overall make up of the site.

Dear friend!!
I found this one the had a nice blue and yellow combination with a hint of gray colored backgrounds and pale yellow for the navigation hover effect. These colors work really well together and I think I’ll be using this color scheme for my own project its really help you.
