this book was exactly what I needed to begin web design!
Rating: 5 / 5
This book starts with no (or very little) knowledge of web design, and does a good job of covering the basics. One could fashion a basic website using only this book as reference. Advanced topics would require further reference, but this is certainly a solid foundation.
Rating: 4 / 5
Good book. Was suggested by a local web designer for learning the basics. Only thing is, this prof. designer who suggested the book doesn’t use “wireframes” which is a MAJOR part of the book. I haven’t attempted a design yet, but will soon. The book is informative and not boring, so I’d suggest it for that reason.
I will add another review after I finish it and work with the local designer on learning to design.
Hope this helps.

I didn’t realize how non-technical this book would be when I ordered it – I was looking for something that would take me hands-on into creating a web page. I am a seasoned program manager of software and graphics projects, but nonetheless found this book instructive. Projects all have some commonality in their management, and then some specific expertise according to the type of project. This book covers the web design aspects very well. It is also a good foundation for anybody starting out on a web design project, the more so if there are more people involved in the project.
I’d strongly recommend this to project managers embarking on a web-related project. If your project involves many contributors, and you’re not experienced in project management, you should train up on project management generalities too.
