Websites don't just need to work great; they need to look great too. Here Justin Seeley shows how to inject your website designs with new life—using color, typography, graphics, and functional but aesthetically pleasing interface elements like buttons and menus. He'll also help you organize your layers so they are more understandable to developers, file a project library on Creative Cloud, and share your designs on Adobe's portfolio site, Behance.
