Website design

I have trouble coming up with nice ideas for websites. That's not the part of development that I'm good at. And before you say that I do a lot of painting so it should be fine, the person who has that aesthetic sense is Joel. I paint the picture, then go over to him and ask if it looks done. Obviously, for a book review website, I'm mainly going for a book/library theme. Right now, though, I'm just starting off with warm browns. I'll get some kind of decorative background/theme eventually.
