Product Description

Product Description
Written by a user interface and graphics designer with experience in the design of large–scale Web projects with Netscape, this book applies the principles of user interface design and software engineering to the design of these increasingly sophisticated Web sites. It walks you through the entire process––from the setting of objectives through implementation. Features many illustrations, designs and examples. Includes eight–color pages.

From the Publisher
A must have for anyone involved in web site development
Written by Darrell Sano, a user-interface designer with Netscape, this book gives you a complete methodology to use when planning, designing, and developing full-featured, interactive Web sites. I've had readers tell me that this is the *first* book anyone should read before they start designing web pages. It's extremely well-written and very accessible, even to those without a strong technical background.

With this book, you'll learn how to apply user-interface design, graphic design, and software engineering strategies and techniques to designing large-scale Web sites. Sano takes you through many critical site development issues, including organizing and prioritizing content, supporting user tasks and goals, and advanced layout and design techniques,including Netscape Frameset documents.

He also gives dozens of examples of effective Web site design, including a stunning 8-page full-color gallery of Web pages illustrating the concepts presented in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for its time, but rather outdated by now, 25 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This book was clearly ahead of its time when it was written, and tackled some important issues. The focus on screen layout, browser technologies and other paradigm issues was, no doubt, of much assistance in its day.

This being said, the book is now almost three years old and -- for the Web -- that pretty much renders it irrelevant. It still focuses on Netscape 2.0 as a "next generation" browser and words like LiveScript are likely to baffle anyone who wasn't around in the good old days.

I would recommend the book to anyone who wanted a bit of a history of the Web, and some very basic initial guidelines as to the thinking and structures of the medium. But be warned: this book contains a <b>lot</b> of information that has changed, and should be followed up quickly with a book like "Secrets of Successful Websites" by David Seigal, which is infinitely superior.

As a conclusion, I believe it is quite irresponsible of the authors to leave this book as it is and not publish an update. This is not nearly as useful as it could be, and I'm sure many have purchased it and found it quite disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A serious book on *information* (not graphic) design, 3 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Finally a book whose author does not think in terms of "page coolness" but understands that a project on the web is a project in information-space design.

The proposed methodology is clear and fully applicable, albeit still to be formalised.

Disregard the obvious bias towards Netscape (the author works there) and instead of the last chapters dedicated to browser- (ie Navigator) specific HTML tricks get the reference to HTML 3.2 from the Web Design Group (www.htmlhelp.com).

For the rest, the book is a good first step in a number of right directions: usability, User Interface design, information space design. All these disciplines are badly needed in the background of anybody seriously interested in being in the Web business two years from now.

Still wondering about getting some coolness after all?
Don't worry. The book even explains how to get graphic artists and designers do *their* jobs (that's creating nice graphics, not messing with designing web sites) while letting *you* do yours --producing an understandable, navigable, usable and effective web site.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any web site project manager., 29 April 1997
By A Customer
This book provides a project methodology and substantive advice regarding usability and design. The coverage of the considerations involved in creating a large scale web site is thorough. Most of the advice is very solid.

Minor drawbacks are that the design suggestions are warped by a grid ethos, apparently brought about by a too-early exposure to Quark Express.

Another drawback is the constant droning regarding the wonderfulness of Netscape Navigator. This is somewhat understandable as the author is an employee of Netscape. The biased browser information is a little out of date.
