 Good Book ... 5 Years Ago !?! June 19, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
While this is a good, well written book it is now too far out of date to be of any use to anyone wanting to learn modern web design. It's main flaw is teaching table based layouts for webpages. While some web designers hold to this method, it it generally accepted that CSS is now the best solution. If you're looking for a good beginners guide check out the Sitepoint book "Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML and CSS" by Ian Llyod.

One of the most comprehensive books on the market about web design. No matter what your experience level is, you are gently guided through every step of the way. Quite simply, brilliant.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a software manual must be in need of help - and I couldn't have got to grips with the graphics package or web authoring tool I used to construct my web site without this book to see me through. There is an art to writing a text book, and very few people producing instructions manuals are able to put themselves in the position of the user, yet Miss Niederst has this talent in abundance. She is clear, informal without being folksy, and the book is well structured. It is an essential tool for anybody venturing out into the wonderful world of web design, and useful too for those with some knowledge who think they know what they're talking about and will have to explain it to those who don't.
A perfect beginner's guide January 21, 2003

Having recently decided that my personal web page really wasn't up to much, heavily reliant on the functionality of an online authoring tool, I opted to take the plunge and do the job properly.Jennifer Nierderst's book is a revelation. I've read other beginner's guides before. Some treat the reader like a moron, others like an expert. This book strikes the perfect balance and is helping me to achieve a better looking personal website. Added to that balance is a wonderful smattering of humour and personal insight and I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into web design - be it for professional reasons or just for pleasure.
