This great book is more than a book on webstyle or webdesign. It gives detailed informations on how to plan a website, on how to develop and manage a web project, on web teams and on interface design for the web.
I would recommend this for everyone involved in web projects, either designers, managers, content editors, etc. And both for seasoned developers as well as newbies.

What happened between 2nd and 3rd editions?
6 Jan 2010
By Jeffajab
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My impression after relying on 2nd edition to teach web design all these years is similar to the 2-star reviewer who wrote this version is laced with jargon and a difficult read. It seems this book has gone from a fundamental primer on basic web design principles that served as an excellent introduction to web design for novices to some kind of "introduction to large-scale web design" that throws newcomers off into the deep end of "analytics," "metrics," and "wireframes." I am seriously reconsidering if I can use this book in my beginning web design course anymore. I understand design tools have evolved and the Internet has become much more dynamic, and that it is certainly a challenge to know where to draw the line between "basic" and "advanced" web design concepts, but this 3rd edition seems to have over-corrected and gotten away from its core strengths. I may just stick with the 2nd edition as it seems to cover the basics much better without the addition of the new content in this 3rd edition...

It's a web design bible.

Format:Paperback
...your project starts with content, business requirements, then business case and information structure; then branding, workflow, layout, usability, navigation, behavior, "look and feel", wireframes... Sarah and Peter deliver an amazing story to anybody who plays a role in a project. You may own hundreds of books that cover practically every aspect of web design and development. Or, you may get this one. So treat yourself. With every chapter you get more engaged, the examples look familiar, the information is consistent, practical, accurate, realistic, and tremendous fun. It's a web design bible.

Although this book is available online, it is nice to have a hard copy to write notes and mark up. I use this book all the time developing sites and take it with me to work and school.
