Teddy,

        At the risk of opening myself up for comments based on whether you
*like the designs or not, please take a look at my website.
http://www.tink.co.uk/

        It was developed by myself, with no visual assistance. I am
completely blind.

        The site has three visual looks. The layout, colour scheme and
artwork differs for each skin. You can select the skin you prefer through
the style switcher.
 
Regards,
Léonie.
