Editorial Review:

How many times have you visited a Web site and thought that you could do a better job if only you had the knowledge and skills?   Or perhaps you have a great idea for a Web site but don't know how to get started? What was once exclusively a task for professionals, Web designing, has become more accessible to amateurs, thanks to loads of handy software. With Web Design For Dummies, you will be able to design your own Web site like a pro.

Web design requires many programs to make a Website attractive and fun, including:

  • Using Web editors like Dreamweaver
  • Image editing tools like Photoshop elements
  • Drawing utensils like Illustrator
  • Background markup and scripting languages like HTML and CSS

This fun guide covers all of the topics that every aspiring Web designer should know.   This book offers advice on:

  • Designing for your audience
  • Building a solid framework for easy navigation
  • Creating appealing graphics that work with the site
  • Choosing the proper type and colors
  • Tweaking the HTML to make everything work correctly
  • Applying next-step technologies including JavaScript
  • Parlaying your skills into paid work

With expert guidance from Lisa Lopuck, a pioneer in interactive media design and the Senior Producer at Disney, you will be creating superb Web pages that will charm and impress all of your visitors!

Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Good, but outdated:

This book is pretty good for someone who wants to learn the basics of the process of web design as well as plenty of useful tidbits of information.

This author did a pretty good job in the first half of the book. I actually started a little website on my computer and was learning the "html" language feeling good about my brain accepting the new in-load of material.... more info

Good Colorful Pages:

This book was a good beginning to learning how to plan and implement a Web site. This book is absolutely not for individuals who are looking to get some design or development skills because it solely acts as a tool to help with Web site project management and implementation.
Because every site should undergo these steps, this is a great book for those who are just beginning to get into Web design and creation. For those pros who want to look back at maybe something that was missed, this book will not... more info
