Product Description:
If you think web design is beyond your reach, or if you want your existing web site to look more professional, this thoroughly updated classic is the place to turn! In these pages, best-selling authors Robin Williams and John Tollett share the creative ideas, useful techniques, and basic design principles that are essential to great Web design-all in the context of the most current technology, software, and standards. Throughout, the authors' aim is to inspire you and spark your creativity rather than sedate you with pages and pages of code. To that end, you'll find loads of real-world examples, interesting illustrations, and the simple instructions you need to implement the techniques and concepts described in these pages.

The Non-Designer's Web Book is a pretty, full-colorguide for aspiring Web designers. The authors first explain how tobrowse and search the Web and then discuss how to plan and post a Website. Then they get you into the real work of designing Web sites,whether for business or personal purposes. The authors teach you basicdesign principles--covering such areas as alignment, proximity,repetition, and contrast--and then discuss design issues that arespecific to the Web: You learn about creating pages with carefulattention to color, graphics, typography, tables, and more. Finally,you learn how to test, fix, upload, update, and register yoursite. The book isn't an HTML primer, but you do get a few tips ontweaking your pages by editing HTML code. The authors discuss avariety of Macintosh and Windows programs for creating Web pages, suchas Adobe PageMill, Claris Home Page, and Microsoft FrontPage, and theyalso discuss image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop. At the end ofeach chapter there's a quiz for reviewing what you've learned.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - could not put it down
I read this entire book in three days and learned so much about everything.There is not a lot of technical information in the book but design concepts and things that will just make you so much more prepared for designing websites.I have also read Robin Williams other books and I am totally in love with her writing style.Check them out if you haven't already.
Rating: - Excellent Book
I have only read about 6 chapters but there is so much basic information available about what is important when designing a web page.I am using this for a college course and this is preparing me to design a hypermedia project.
Rating:  - An OK book
This book is OK for someone who might be trying to teach another the principals of webpage design. I had to buy it for a graduate level textbook and didn't see much use for it. It might be better used in the K-12 area, not college level.
Rating:  - Web book
I was required to buy this book for a grad course. It is to the point and easy to understand.
Rating:  - Out of date
This book is seriously out of date for modern web design and development.
