  The basic rules of good page layout have not changed with the advent of the Web. The difference is in the extent of what can be achieved and how it is achieved. The book opens with a reminder of design's first principles, explaining how these apply in the digital age, and a discussion of the new tools that designers have to learn to use, such as HTML code, cascading style sheets, Web authoring software, Net objects and so on.

  A practical and inspirational guide to Web page design. It opens with a reminder of design's first principles, explaining how these apply in the digital age, and a discussion of the new tools that designers have had to learn to use (such as HTML code, cascading style sheets, Web authoring software, Net objects and so on). There are explanations of the ways in which text and graphics work in the context of the Web, alongside guidelines on styling and best practice. Layout issues specific to the Web - such as navigation controls, rollovers, animation and other special effects - are also covered. The final section of the book is the Showcase , in which the best examples of Webpage design are illustrated and discussed.
