Who should read this book?

Whether you’re completely new to web design, a seasoned pro looking for inspiration, or a developer wanting to improve your sites’ aesthetics, there’s something for everyone here.

How? Because instead of trying to cover every possible area of creating a web site, we’ve focused purely on the design stage; that is, everything that happens before a single line of code is written.

However, great design is more than just aesthetics. Long before we open our graphics program of choice, we’ll be conducting research, dealing with clients, responding to briefs, sketching out sitemaps, planning information architecture, moving from doodles to diagrams, exploring different ways of interactivity, and building upon design traditions.

But ultimately, you’ll be finding out how to create web sites that look drop-dead gorgeous.

    This is one of the most interesting books I’ve read about web design. It takes you trough the complete process of designing a website. Do not be conduced. This book is not about coding a website, but about creating the visual part of it. It has some really useful tips and is written in an understandable language. The first chapter is an introduction of the topics that are developed in a deeper way in the next chapters, so you can go ahead and download the free preview from sitepoint’s website and get a better idea of what the book is about.

    This book offers nice insight into web design, and while not being all inclusive, does a nice job of pointing the student to more in depth resources that expand upon the ideas presented in “Sexy Web Design.” Well written and never boring, this one is worth the read.

    As an admirer of the author’s work, I was very excited to receive this book and felt disappointed when I did. It feels like an appetizer and leaves you hungry for the main course.

    I was overall impressed with this book. It has an amazing assortment of creative ideas and makes a great reference book when I’m trying to find something that just “clicks”. I love not only the design aspect of the book, but the ideas, the thoughts, and the “how-to’s” that went into creating it. The book itself is a piece of art to be cherished.
