This essential guide for Web site designers provides practical, concise advice on creating well-designed and effective Web sites and pages. Focusing on the interface and graphic design principles that underlie the best Web site design, this book offers invaluable help on a full range of issues, from planning and organizing goals to design strategies for a site to the elements of individual page design.
Helpful technical guide
| Customer Rating: | | I purchased several copies of this book to use in conjunction with a text we're using in a 400 level Internet Marketing class. The students are expected to prepare a comprehensive marketing plan for internet presence for a company. Web Style Guide has clear, uncomplicated design guidelines for planning - not necessarily execution - of web site development. It contains all the elements needed for simple or complex web site planning. |
Book doing a good job in sumaring what a website should do to work
| Customer Rating: | | Although obviously too basic for web developers and people working on the Net day-in-day-out because of its simplification of web design, it does work as a complete sumary of what a sucessful website should have in design terms for anyone who would like to get started at a serious level. It does a pretty good job at doing precisely that and little else, but its clarity helps to simplify and put all the necessary pieces into perspective. It makes pretty good emphasis in Accesibility which I find it is a very important thing to always remember when designing for the whole WWW without leaving anyone behind. Easy and fast to read, it will give you a good bird's eye view before getting started designing your website. |
Unique features to this Guide
| Customer Rating: | | This is a nice source for those of us who wonder how traditional print style guidelines apply to the web. Unlike many other books on web style which cover more of the visual aspects of putting web pages/sites together, this guide provides a solid reference on how to communicate your CONTENT to a web audience, in a format that suits the medium. |
Um...I'd read another book instead
| Customer Rating: | | Good information. Hard to read and presented boringly -- is that a word? Other books contain the same information. Not horrible, just not great. |
Not too helpful...
| Customer Rating: | | If you're fairly inexperienced on the internet, and you don't know what "Classic three-column layout" means, then you should buy this book. If you do know what that means, you are probably familiar with the majority of the topics covered in this book. I did not find that the time I spent reading this was well spent because it is very basic. Don't expect too much magic to come off the pages. |
