Some of the most impressive aspects are the time and attention devoted to content selection, information architecture, the basics of good design, testing and even a very readable guide to the history of the Internet. All too often, these sorts of guides fall into the trap of heading straight into the intricacies of HTML and Javascript without looking at the basics first. This is like starting to dig the foundations of a house without planning what the finished building will look like.
Webmasters avoid some of the basic mistakes so evident even in many major sites.
The rest of the book deals with the hands-on aspects of site design. There is just enough information on how to get going with NetObjects, but it's left to you to discover the rest. A full version of NetObjects Fusion 4 is provided on the CDs, along with Paint Shop Pro, a graphics editing program, and BladePro for creating special effects and textures. Overall, then, this is a great package for Windows users but Mac users should look elsewhere. Any unauthorised use or copying prohibited.
