INTRODUCTION
The Web is an ever-changing, evolving entity, and it??™s easy for a designer to get left behind.
As both a designer and writer, I see a lot of books on web design, and although many are well
written, few are truly integrated, modular resources that any designer can find useful in his
or her day-to-day work. Most web design books concentrate on a single technology (or,
commonly, a piece of software), leaving the designer to figure out how to put the pieces
together.
This book is different
The Essential Guide to CSS and HTML Web Design provides a modern, integrated approach
to web design. Each of the chapters looks at a specific aspect of creating a web page, such as
type, working with images, creating navigation, and creating layout blocks. In each case, relevant
technologies are explored in context and at the appropriate times, just as in real-world
projects??”for example, markup is explored along with associated CSS and JavaScript, rather
than each technology being placed in separate chapters, and visual design ideas are discussed
so you can get a feel for how code affects page layouts. Dozens of practical examples
are provided, which you can use to further your understanding of each subject.
