Konigi

While certainly not aimed at the everyman, Konigi offers star-up designers and web mavens in-depth analysis and cutting edge tips on all the nuts and bolts behind user experience design. Thorough treatises on search result filtering, undo button bylaws and the wild world of widget wrangling are accompanied by a series of instructional essays that aim to turn novice designers into top-tier pros. You can even download free templates, stencils and spreadsheet applications from their tools section, which gives you all the soft gear you’ll need to customize the look and feel of your own site. As a meta-web destination that comes off as equal parts R&D project and niche pony show, Konigi is chock full of inspiration for user experience designers while still appealing to the average joe with a hankering for a little DIY.
