Looking at some designs of old websites, I'm impressed by how much difference texture can make. I've been putting gradients on everything because #CSS lets me, and I can also make triangle and simple shapes, but I can't create, for example, polka dots or carpet patterns in pure CSS. I'm struggling to make actual image files to use in my #webdesign. So far I made a 4x4 dot pattern and I think it made a previously pure white background much better.
