All sites listed on these pages offer original designs and not collections from around the web. I've divided the sites between two pages since the list was getting so long.Any sites that are designated with a "New" tag were entered on this page July/97. If you know of any web pages that have original designs that should be included here, please let me know so that others can enjoy them too.
