"Hate Own Design" Syndrom

[noisebug]

I'm sure everyone has suffered this one time or another.

I have no problem creating for clients, but for myself, its chaos.

I'm trying to redo my own website, and I hate every design I come up with. I'm not sure if I'm being to critical, but I need a way to push past this. It is becoming a problem. I've already made several designs and X'd out all of them. They just don't feel right.

What are some ways one can get past this?

Start charging yourself by the hour for the re-designs. After a while you'll stop making adjustments to make it more cost-effective. lol

Seriously though.. sometimes I'll bookmark pages that I like, or that inspire me, and try to either mimic them or use bits and pieces from various sites that I like and put them together. I'll also spend quite some time in photoshop to "brainstorm" a bunch of ideas before actually coding any of the pages. It's easier to throw out a design that you've spent 10 minutes on in photoshop than one you've spent hours on coding in HTML and CSS (not to mention the headache of figuring out simple bugs, only to realize you don't like the design in the first place).
