We've drawn from our own observations, opinions and judgements about what makes web pages better or worse, as well as extrapolating from the existing body of usability and user interface design literature. The purpose of this site is not to teach people how to produce web pages. There is little mention of HTML or any other technical stuff other than in passing. It is aimed at people who are already involved with design and typography for conventional print and want to explore the possibilities of this new electronic medium. They are probably already using page layout tools like Quark XPress, PhotoShop, Freehand and Illustrator and have discovered that designing web pages is something quite different.
Every new medium requires an evolution of a new language.
This book considers some of the new forms and semantics behind Web design. Books on Web-Design his pages contains anannotated list of books on web design.
