Web Designer's Reference
Most web design books concentrate on a single technology or piece of software,
leaving the designer to figure out how to put all the pieces together. This book is different.
Web Designer's Reference
provides a truly integrated approach to web design. Each of the dozen chapters
covers a specific aspect of creating a web page, such as working with typography,
adding images, creating navigation, and crafting CSS layouts. In each case,
relevant XHTML elements are explored along with associated CSS, and visual
design ideas are discussed.
Several practical examples are provided, which you can use to further your
understanding of each subject. This highly modular and integrated approach
means that you learn about technologies in context, at the appropriate time and,
upon working through each chapter, you craft a number of web page elements
that you can use on countless sites in the future.
This book is ideal for those making their first moves into standards-based
web design, experienced designers who want to learn about modern design
techniques and move toward creating CSS layouts, graphic designers who want
to discover how to lay out their designs, and veteran web designers who want
a concise reference guide.
The book's advocacy of web standards, usability, and accessibility
with a strong eye toward visual design means itís of use to technologists
and designers alike, enabling everyone to build better websites. And for
those moments when a particular tag or property value slips your mind, the
book provides a comprehensive reference guide that includes important and
relevant XHTML elements and attributes, XHTML entities, web colors, and
CSS 2.1 properties and values.
With this book:
• Use XHTML elements effectively and efficiently to create lean, standardscompliant, highly compatible web pages.
• Style web pages with CSS.
• Create effective page layouts, highly flexible navigation areas, great online typography, and more.
• Learn how to balance quality contemporary design with future-proof web standards.
• Use the essential reference guides to remind yourself about XHTML elements, CSS properties, and their associated attributes and values
