Content.

For me, Content is the most difficult part of Web Design.
A blank, white page is the most frustrating sight. I find all the possibilities, options, choices, etc. very daunting.
My respect for such creative people as the Balthaser group is heightened every time I visit their original site.
In my opinion, content is so tough to create because it requires more than technical knowledge. It requires that you have a message, something you are trying to communicate to others. Content creation also requires some sense of self-worth, the confidence that what you want to say is of value to the rest of the world.
There are many tools to beautify your site, or to make its creation easier. To my knowledge, there are NO programs that will create ideas for you, or generate the creativity required. These are things you must develop from within yourself.

How do you begin the creative process? It's depressingly simple.

Try.

Try to draw, paint, write, whatever you can, whenever you have some time. The more creative projects you attempt, the greater the chance you will create something that pleases you. That is the point, after all. No matter what you are trying to achieve, it is your personal satisfaction that determines the degree of your success.

Enjoy!
