1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly outdated design advice, 20 Jul 1999
By A Customer
While I admire Ms. LeMay's writing style, I am afraid that her approach to web page design is terribly outdated. This book focuses on creating what David Siegel would call "first generation" web pages; i.e. simple, flat layouts on gray backgrounds, with very little visual appeal. Her advice on which tags to use (<Hx>, <EM>, <STRONG>, <HR>) only reinforces how out-of-touch she is -- no one codes like this anymore. Where is the coverage on how to layout your pages using tables and frames? Where is the advice on using the <FONT> tag to gain greater control over your typography? Every screen-shot in this book looks like something from 1995 (that's a LOOOOOOONG time ago in web years!). There is nothing here that can't be found for free on the Web, in one of those online HTML for beginners guides.

If you want your web site to look like a relic from the dawn of the Web, read this book. If you would prefer to have modern, professional-looking web pages, I recommend "HTML Publishing on the Internet" by Brent Heslop, followed by "Creating Killer Web Sites" or "HTML Artistry".

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre at best. A lost cause at the worst.
