Hello! I'm a web and graphic designer who loves blogging, startups and everything about the web. I started NETTUTS in April '08 as the first sister site to our super successful PSDTUTS - photoshop tutorials site.
I love making websites and hate making them cross-browser compatible, I love CSS and wish I was better at Flash, I love design and I love building, but I dislike maintenance. I'll do my best to share lots of tips from the trenches and if you know a better way to do something in one of my tutorials, please do share it in the comments!!

Creating a PayPal Payment Form
in HTML / CSS by Collis Ta'eedAlthough it can have some issues, PayPal does provide a very simple way to take payments on a website. And with a little tweaking you can easily turn a PayPal “Buy Now” button into a form where the user specifies how much they’d like to pay and what they are paying for. Continue Reading
Launch!
in News by Collis Ta'eedAfter the massive success of PSDTUTS, it seemed like a good idea to branch out into tutorials on other subjects.
