We plan on remodeling our bathroom in the next month or so. The size is fairly small(roughly 8' X 5.5')...just enough room for tub, sink, and toilet.

Any good ideas or known websites that would be helpful?

Are you looking for colors/materials help or layout help? Are you going right down to the studs? replacing all the fixtures?
As for layout your best bet is tub against the back wall (I assume its 65" wide and 96" deep?) A tub is 60", so you can build a nice shelf to take up that 6 inches. Your countertop I'd make a "banjo" style. a small 8" ledge that carries on over top of your toilet tank. similar to this:

For added space saving, inside the tub area, instead of corner caddies I like to do built-in "niches" for the shampoo bottles. Like this:
