Customer Reviews

High marks from a web designer who STARTED with this book.

This Design Guide was the only reference I used to design my first website, with no prior knowledge of HTML and little understanding of the Internet on the whole. That first site, developed almost three years ago, was simple but successful and has changed little since that time despite changing designers and webmaster several times. The case studies and examples provided are informative and entertaining, and it is written in an easy-to-use format. If you see an example of something you'd like to appropriate for your own design, clear HTML instructions are provided at the end of each section. This is a book that not only offers tips for a beginning developer, but could prove to be useful for a developer who needs to sharpen his/her design skills.
