Learning new CSS tricks is one of the best ways to shake up your website design. If you've been working in the web industry for a while, you may feel you're always coding or designing the same layouts. Trends come and go but the majority of sites look the same – using the 12-column grid, two and three-column boxed layouts and similar shapes. Not only is it getting a little boring to look at, but the user experience isn't that great.

One way to change it up is to draw inspiration from fields or areas that go beyond digital design. Why not use print or editorial designs for your website? You can break old habits with new CSS properties that open a new world of possibilities. You can utilise a decent website builder to inspire you.
