Description

Everyone and everything has a web page these days. When another site is only a click away, Web designers need to make their pages stand out from the crowd. How? Good content is not enough. Flashy graphics are not enough. Web pages must be attractive and easy-to-navigate to draw an audience.

The Web Wizard's Guide to Web Site Design teaches readers how to create sites that keep their audience. From site planning to site building to site posting, this book will help readers create well-designed, user-friendly Web sites.

Addison-Wesley's Web Wizard Series is perfect for anyone who wants to create, design, or learn more about Web sites. Each full color book provides a concise, easy-to-read, step-by-step introduction to a Web-related topic.
