Learning never ends. Constant education and learning is required to keep the skills updated and fresh. If you think that you have got all that is required for a good designer, there is still much more to learn. You always need to learn and educate yourself to acquire latest techniques and awareness for making yourself stand out among other designers. As a web designer, you will have numerous sources to learn and sharpen your skills.
Basics to create your own unique designs patterns
Following is a brief guide that is merely a tiny step to educate the beginners or common people to design their websites in a pro-like fashion.
1. Beginning from scratch
You must have created many designs on your scratch-pad and might be thinking to implement those design patterns into your website. This would be a convenient way to design your page, but if you aim to design your site in a unique and different way, you can put all of your imaginations on a blank sheet. You are free to draw whatever pops up in your head. In this way, you will come to have a lot of creative designs that will be solely yours. Starting from a blank sheet actually give you freedom to play with your imaginations and give them life by drawing it down to the paper.
2. Break the stereo-typical traditions
If you plan to design a website that would be addressing a huge audience, you will need to follow some principles and guidelines. You have to abide by the rules laid down in creating and designing a site that would be catering a large number of online users. Even in this case, you have to come up with something unique, breaking the old design traditions that are being used in designing such websites. If you are bound to follow rules, first make and create the design and then alter it to fit the rules. Abiding by the rules does not necessarily means to follow the same old designs.
3. Avoid CMS
Making use of tools and techniques to enhance the productivity of your site is a good idea to incorporate.CMS is widely used to increase the productivity and create beautiful designs. CMS helps to make instant alterations in website design. Your client might ask you to make some alterations in the design of the website and with CMS; you can accomplish this task very quickly. But CMS software can restrict you in making certain designs. So avoid using it as much as you can.
4. Try to avoid templates
If you want to create your site in a unique and distinct way, avoid using pre-set designs and templates. It will limit your creativity. And there are chances that other designers might be using the same templates in designing their websites. Be creative and come up with your own unique designs.
Conclusion:
It is always better to create designs from your own imaginations. Copying ideas and patterns will result in old fashioned and repeatedly used web designs. Begin following the above steps in designing the website in your own unique fashion.

I do agree with some points that you have shared here but i am not agree that Everyone should avoid CMS.
It is not in my mind that not to use that.If you are on other way then should share here some more.
Hi,
Well I think creating a new design, you all must start from the beginning. I like the suggestion that you have said of avoiding templates and not to make use of CSS tools. This is definitely true because making use of these tools wont help you much. Thanks for the share!!
Every business has some unique requirements as far as web design is concerned. Imitating other designs can’t fulfill its own business objectives. A transparent image in the industry makes the business stand out from the crowd.
Your web designs defines you. As such you must always create web designing that is catchy, colorful and interesting so that you will easily catch the attention of the readers and visitors. Also, you must not forget to have the unique and fresh content for your page.
Design should be as per requirement of your site/blog with proper navigation.
I like what Quality Seo Services said – a good design without unique content will be incomplete.
I guess you have just given what basics to avoid and not basics to follow which is the title of your blog.If offended,my sincere apologies are there.
Good points here, but I do think using a CMS – such as wordpress don’t necessarily have to restrict your design.
You raised very good points…although I disagree with not using CMS…as it make things easier and I can’t understand how come it restricts your designing options…

These are good tips, however I am concerded a little bit aboud avoiding CMS. As far as I know it is possible to create our own templates and insert them into CMS. That way we know where and how to alter the whole design quikly. Moreover, CMS saves a lot of time, so I greately recommend them. Thanks
