  Will give the reader proven best practices to design and build better web experiences for their client and for the end user.

  Every successful web site must serve two disparate audiences with equal dexterity: 1) the end users, 2) the people paying for the site's development. Creating Killer Web Sites, Third Edition will help web designers and developers meet the needs of both those audiences. Like the previous edition, the book will walk the reader through the steps it takes to build a web site, from project definition to final testing. This approach will enable the reader to walk away with a series of unchanging best practices that he can use to build and create better web experiences. The main narrative will be augmented with a variety of sidebars including: living examples of design principles; tips and tricks; charts & tables of technical detail; and anecdotes from David Siegel and Fuse Interactive on subjects ranging from strange creative pitches to ridiculous customer requests, written to give readers some advanced business and communications know-how. Multiple ideas, multiple examples and multiple approaches will be showcased at every step in the process. For example, there will be a slew of working comps - both bad and good - to reveal to the reader how they got there. The web site will be updated to reflect all the changes in the last four years of web design and development. Concepts illustrated in the web site will include dynamic page generation and community building.
