Customer Reviews

Number 1.

One of the most useful web related book I have ever read. Very well organized and its easy to use. It was a great pleasure to read from these top notch guy like Eric Jordan, Pascal Leroy, Michael Lebowitz Its a must for all the web industry people.

Great book, Bad name

Great examples and reviews of the best creative sites. Ignore the bad name. It's not a management book. It's a 'food for the mind' book. Enjoy!

One of the greatest books of 2008's

This book is awesome, both for creatives and technical teams. Is not for beginners and it doesn't teach you how to build a website, it teaches you how to build online promises and experiences, how to stimulate users through visuals, animations and technical blending. All in one: it worth's every penny!

Make Your Good Better

If you're a web design novice, this book gives you strong guidelines but isn't gonna tell why your floats don't work properly in Internet Explorer. Already a web-savvy Digital Creative? This book is a hipified reference manual full of relevant, fun (and sometimes irreverent) reminders and inspiration. It's biggest strength, however, is its distillation. If you already have the skills and mind to create the next coolest site, you may just need a peg to hang an idea on. A 'manual' like Guidelines for Online Success offers that peg without all the distracting dressings that come along with web-trolling for inspiration. If your major design decision boils down to vertical vs. horizontal navigation (or radically both!), then you don't need this book. You're good to go.

Finally a book on design philosophy

Like the author said in the book, this is not a for Dummies book. It is a book though that is needed more than phyically being skilled to create a site. It's one thing to know how to physically put together a website but its a nother thing to create a website that gets attention. This book is filled with expert advice from various web design gurus across the world. And I must say that this book is one of the most well made books I own. The tabbed chapters are very interesting. Actually I am not that surprized because it come from Taschen. Great book, you WILL learn a lot.
