Background Pattern Designs And Resources For Websites

Patterns are a useful resource for website design, allowing us to liven up our backgrounds by using tiny images with just a few kb. A repeated graphic is a good strategy for responsive design as is fits all screen resolutions perfectly. Patterns are indefinitely repeated either horizontally and vertically, and we can play around with a variety of shapes and colors, bitmaps or vectors, and different styles.

Here’s a nice compilation of resources and tools such us Patterns Galleries, CSS3 Patterns, and Pattern Generators, plus some examples of websites with background patterns to give you some inspiration.
