I taught a Web design course in which I used both of Wendy Willard’s books (Web Design: A Beginner’s Guide and HTML: A Beginner’s Guide). There is overlap, of course, but the pair worked quite well as a tandem. In fact, the students gave me a lot of positive feedback on the books. We focused on the Web Design book and used the HTML book primarily as a reference.Web Design is a very straightforward presentation of design fundamentals. It was refreshing to find in the book so many bits of design advice that I have pedaled. Moreover, the writing is lively and concise.The publisher makes available a CD-ROM that contains PowerPoint lectures, a test bank, and an instructor’s manual. I can’t comment on the test bank — I seldom use them — but I found the lectures to be useful as starting points for my own in-class presentations. The book would be improved by more depth in topics such as navigation, information architecture, and usability. Navigation is mentioned but probably warrants its own chapter in a Web design book. In sum, this is a very good book for a first course in Web design.

I am a graphic designer with firm roots in print design–getting into design for the Web has been a daunting prospect. This book is incredibly easy to understand and perfect for an absolute beginner like myself. It provides an excellent jumping-off point into more advanced design and production strategies, even if you are using a WYSIWYG Web page editor. I have been told time and again that even while using a graphical editor like Adobe’s GoLive, it is still important to know basic HTML coding–this book even makes HTML approachable! I would recommend it to anyone who is brand new to Web design.

I bought this author’s first book, HTML: A Beginner’s Guide, and I loved it. Hence, when I saw this book on Amazon, I preordered it. In short, it is excellent. This author really understands her subject matter, and she has a knack for conveying complex concepts in terms that are easy to understand. If you want to learn about the intricacies of Web Design, I highly recommend this book.
