Synopsis

Creating Killer Web Sites is the first true design book for the Web. Whether you are making a personal page, a site for a client, or a corporate site, you'll find this book invaluable for all aspects of design: site structure, use of metaphor and theme, information-based sites, third-generation sites (what they are, why they work), layout control, Photoshop tricks galore, why you should avoid using most standard HTML tags, choosing good fonts, how not to use frames, future versions of HTML, and more! Six detailed chapters take you step-by-step through a third-generation site makeover, creation of a personal page, a storefront, a hotlist, and a gallery. Includes two chapters on making Web sites with Adobe Acrobat using your favorite page layout program instead of HTML!

Review

A very thoughtful and practical guide to building what Siegel refers to as 3rd Generation Web sites: sites driven by design deployed to provide visitors a complete "experience" employing real-world metaphors and models of consumer psychology. Siegel provides especially good information about page layout and handling text and type faces.

I recommend this book heartily, and suggest that serious Web designers also get copies of Creating Great Web Graphics and The Visual Display of Quantitative Information for a very useful library of techniques and ideas.

From the Publisher

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 update to the best-selling Creating Killer Web Sites by David Siegel

- Updated information covering new tricks and techniques for use with the latest browser releases is integrated throughout the text

- Four-color, stunning design and examples of the best Web sites
