Three Helpful Ways To A “Homemade” Web Page

Web pages that look “homemade” are but one of a million different design choices that you (a web designer) or them (a client) can make when constructing a website. Below are a couple of tools that can ease that particular design process.

Turning Photos Into Color Schemes

Want to take that awesome vintage photo you found at the flea market and turn it into a color scheme? Scan it in and upload it to the Image To Color Palette Generator. The service is free and will provide a palette with hex codes that will work with your code or design programs.

Turn Your Own Handwritten Script Into A Font

Preserve that flowery prose (or that chicken-scratch) and turn into an honest-to-goodness TrueType font with this site. Scan in a portion of your handwriting and Your Fonts will do the rest.

Textured Backgrounds, Symbols, & More

Create your own background patterns quickly with BG Patterns, which includes its own samplings of texture, color, and symbols, and allows you to add in your own.

Utilizing just those three sites can give you your background, color scheme, main design element, and script all tied together! And all you had to do was scan in a couple of items.
