With all of the talk about Web 2.0, very few people understand how to implement the look and feel of a Web 2.0 web site.

While Web 2.0 sites tend to focus on increased levels of visitor interactivity, personalization and customization -- think movable widgets (calendars, RSS feeds, etc.) and blogs and forums -- there is also a distinct Web 2.0 look and feel.

Graphics on Web 2.0 sites tend to jump off the page. They use bright colored buttons and backgrounds with lots of light and reflection, shadow and texture treatments in an effort to make the pages visually exciting. One way to accomplish this is with popular striped backgrounds.

Striped page backgrounds are used to provide a border around the center of the page to help draw attention to your message (while also being extremely pleasing to the eye). Striped backgrounds don't compete for your visitor's attention. They are simple but effective ways to draw more attention to your words.

It usually takes a good graphic artist to select the right colors, the right width of the stripes, and the angle of the lines. But now you can do-it-yourself with Easy Striped Backgrounds from Max Rylski, the creator of 1ClickCovers Photoshop Actions.

Max has provided you with a ready-made library of over 100 different striped backgrounds and the files you need to further customize them yourself. If you web site is lacking some "pop" and visual excitement, and you wish to get onto the Web 2.0 train, then you should definitely check out Easy Striped Backgrounds.
