With all of the talk about Web 2.0, very few people understand how to
implement the look and feel of a Web 2.0 web site.
While Web 2.0 sites tend to focus on increased levels of visitor
interactivity, personalization and customization -- think movable widgets
(calendars, RSS feeds, etc.) and blogs and forums -- there is also a distinct
Web 2.0 look and feel.
Graphics on Web 2.0 sites tend to jump off the page. They use bright
colored buttons and backgrounds with lots of light and reflection, shadow and
texture treatments in an effort to make the pages visually exciting. One way
to accomplish this is with popular striped backgrounds.

Striped page backgrounds are used to provide a border around
the center of the page to help draw attention to your message (while also
being extremely pleasing to the eye). Striped backgrounds don't compete for
your visitor's attention. They are simple but effective ways to draw more
attention to your words.




It usually takes a good graphic artist to select the right
colors, the right width of the stripes, and the angle of the lines. But now
you can do-it-yourself with Easy
Striped Backgrounds from Max Rylski, the creator of 1ClickCovers
Photoshop Actions.
