Effective Design and Layout for the World Wide Web.
Beginner - Intermediate Level Users.
This book opens with the basics - a reminder of first principles and how these apply in the digital age. The new tools and terminology Web designers must use - such as HTML code, cascading style sheets, Web-authoring software and hyperlinks - are fully described, and their applications explained.
The book then examines the practicalities of designing a Web page: the basic page with the building blocks of tables are fully explored before moving on to the detail of text and graphics. Clear descriptions of the way these elements work within the context of the Web are given alongside guidelines on styling and best practice. Layout issues specific to the Web such as navigation controls, anchors, rollovers and animation are also covered.
The final showcase section parades premium examples from the world of contemporary web design - from solid, conventionally attractive designs to modern, innovative sites that push back the boundaries - with comprehensive analysis of why each approach is successful.
