Web Site Design Goodies provides
simple, easy-to-follow instruction to
help readers understand and implement
web design concepts. The book also
offers advice on how to solve specific
web design problems and learn things to
avoid, such as using a
combination of green and red as colors
for text and background. Author and
communications professor Joe Burns,
Ph.D. explains web design
concepts and helps readers solve specific
problems, rather than simply providing specific
HTML templates for readers to use.
After readers have finished the book, they will have some actual
knowledge of design and will have acquired skills they can
use to solve problems on their own.
Burns also explains how content is
important, and teaches readers how
to use a website to communicate
effectively with its users.
Critiques of websites designed by
amateurs are also offered to help
readers learn what works and what
does not.
This is not the first time Joe Burns
has helped people with web development.
He is well-known for his skill at simplifying web design
concepts and has authored two books,
HTML Goodies and
JavaScript Goodies, and also maintains a website
at htmlgoodies.com. Once again, Burns
provides an excellent collection of
valuable tips and examples for readers to learn
from when creating a website of their own.
Highly recommended for web design novices.
