David Siegel's classic guide to good taste in Web
design has been completely overhauled in this second edition.
-
- Every chapter has been reworked, repurposed, and
rewritten with over 100 new pages and 150 new illustrations, new information on 4.0
browser design, and a comprehensive guide to Style Sheet implementations for both Netscape
Navigator
- and Internet Explorer.
-
- Those who enjoyed Creating Killer Web Sites the first
time around will doubtlessly benefit from this new edition, which is meant as a
continuation of the first book rather than a simple update.
-
- At the same time, anyone who has never read the first
edition will be able to pick up this new edition without having missed a beat.
-
- Siegel's accompanying Web site (www.killersites.com)
contains supplemental information as well as chapters from the first edition that didn't
make the 2.0 cut.
-
- More of a style guide than an HTML guide, Creating
Killer Web Sites is concerned with the building of Third-Generation sites, Web sites that
are conceived by design and not by technological ability. Siegel and his helpers at Studio
Verso overview a wide variety of topics, including a history of browsers, how to use
specific HTML tags, how to select software tools, and advice on pure aesthetic design.
Like the first edition, the second edition of the book contains an attractive design, a
graphic on every page, and screen shots of successful Web pages that will set any
designer's wheels in motion.
-
- There is a great deal of information to absorb here
and whether you agree with all, some, or none of the advice, you'll still be left with
plenty to think about. If you're brand new to Web site creation, this is an excellent
introduction to the ideas involved with site design. However, because Creating Killer Web
Sites is not a tutorial or HTML reference, you will need to supplement it with one.

need to build sites for today's 4.0 and the coming 5.0 browsers. Much of the book has been

compatibility. There are three new chapters on strategies designers will need to know
going forward, including a detailed style-sheet tutorial.

Synopsis
Though there are already books about web design, most are technical in nature, and
none take this case study approach. The primary focus is on Netscape Navigator and
Internet Explorer's HTML extensions, with new material devoted to new tags. The book is
aimed at those who have already designed a web site, as well as for those wannabe web site
designers. |
