Who does not like a great web site background pattern for their web site? I believe it can make the difference between an okay web site and a web site that has some class and style.There are hundreds of sites available on the web that show you how to make background patterns. There are even sites that will allow you to download the pre-made patterns that you can just drop in to Photoshop Presets folder. There are some classical background patterns that are used quite a lot; such as, TV line pattern, diagonal line pattern, and dotted pattern. These patterns have been over-used. I think if you are going to design a web site then an original background pattern is a must. There are definitely some exotic pattern creators out there as well. I personally like the subtle patterns they can be added to your Photoshop very easily and can be altered without much effort.
Background patterns for web sites can be that little extra design element that makes your site stand out from the rest. I have included some links to sites that I use for background patterns check them out below.
STRIPE GENERATOR (This is a generator that will make the patterns for you)

COLOR LOVERS (This site not only has patterns, but color palettes as well and it is a site that allows you to create your own custom pattern)
