An anonymous reader writes "I'm a competent geek running a one-man-show for a small business. I do everything IT in this company: servers, email, desktop support, manage Ethernet switches, cash registers, inventory database, and the company web site. My boss has asked me to "punch up" the web site to make it more appealing. Although I can hold my own with HTML, PHP and a couple SQL products, graphic design isn't one of my strengths. I'm looking for some advice on how to "pimp my site" a bit, without making it overstimulating for the webophobic. It's also important that it conform to ADA accessibility guidelines.
In particular, I'm looking for:
* books or tutorial web sites that teach the basics of good graphic design — how to make it more appealing without losing the ability to communicate effectively
* suggestions for tools to use to make this more efficient (Windows or Linux are OK)
I'm most interested in hearing from those of you who have graphic design education or experience."
