Résumé
Résumé
This essential guide for Web site designers offers clear, concise advice on creating well-designed and effective Web sites and pages. Focusing on the interface and graphic design principles that underlie the best Web site design, the book provides anyone involved with Web site design -- in corporations, government, nonprofit organizations, and academic institutions -- with expert guidance on issues ranging from planning and organizing goals to design strategies for a site to the elements of individual page design.Shifting away from the emphasis of many authors on HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and glitzy, gimmicky graphics, Patrick J. Lynch and Sarah Horton discuss classic principles of design, how these principles apply to Web design, and the issues and constraints of designing complex, multilayered sites. They address the practical concerns of bending and adapting HTML to the purposes of graphic page design.This book grew out of the widely used and highly praised Web site on site designcreated by,the Center for Advanced Instructional Media at Yale University (info.med.yale.ed/ cairn/manual/). At this site, readers will continue to find updated color illustrations and examples to complement and demonstrate points made in the book, as well as useful and current online references.

Critique de Booklist
Disavowing that their guide is The Chicago Manual of Style for the World Wide Web, the authors are too modest about its value. It condenses common sense about what Web masters should think about before writing their first HTML (HyperText Markup Language) tag. Too often Web masters allow techno-enthusiasm to gain the upper hand over editorial considerations, so the authors lay out the editorial essentials, from defining the audience to determining the Web site's long-term goal, that are critical foundations to lay before beginning construction. Lynch and Horton's building advice springs from the essential differences between Web and print pages: Web pages stand alone and are highly visual; print pages are sequential and more verbally reliant. Thus links between Web pages are critical, as is the appearance of typefaces, images, and color, not to mention multimedia plug-ins. The authors' concision and practicality seem sturdy enough to keep abreast of the Web's velocity of change, extending their guide's shelf life beyond the ephemeral term of most Web guides.

Critique de Choice
Lynch and Horton offer an informative book for Web designers who want to go beyond HTML to consider specific information architecture issues. The discussion on the use of tables for creating editorial layouts is particularly well written and important. One weakness of the book is lack of specifics; for example, the authors acknowledge the fact that all browsers insert an automatic margin of eight pixels. It is relatively simple to eliminate this feature, but the authors merely suggest that the reader consult other books to find out how to solve the problem. Similarly, the discussion of frames takes up a short two pages, far too insignificant an amount of space for this important design feature. For professionals. J.
