Web Design for Dummies packs an impressive amount of information in an easy-to-use format. The ample screen shots show you what to do, while the many tip/warning icons provide time-saving ideas. But what I like best about it is that overall it helps break down the *process* of designing web sites. That way, you can see how the pros construct great sites, using a realistic workflow. It helps you focus on designing sites one piece at a time, which is quite empowering.Whether you are simply browsing for ideas or you are working through a chapter in depth, this book will not disappoint!

Most of the Dummies books I know of are pitched to the ordinary joe. I bought this book assuming that it would be too, so it would help me design my own web page. Not so. This is for people who want to make a career out of designing web pages. It assumes that you will be part of a team that includes marketing people, designers (in addition to you), media specialists, “HTML slingers,” programmers, and a producer to pull the team together and bring the project in on time and on budget.
Well, okay. If you are the person it’s written for, I suspect that you would give it five stars, like the other reviewers. Even with the disconnect, I got so much out of parts of it that I’ll give it four. I will bet, however, that if your ambitions are as modest as mine are, there are other, better books.

This book was very informative, but not what I expected. It isn’t for the regular person wanting to learn how to design their own website, it is for professionals wanting to get into the business of designing web sites.

I personally enjoyed reading this book because it’s clear and easy to follow. The information in it is very practical. For example, it gives specific steps to take if one is interested in becoming a freelance web-designer. It also mentions a 5-step process with regards to dealing with clients. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in web design. This goes for those who are thinking about starting their own web design business as well as for those who are planning to work for a company. The author has a very good sense of humor which makes the book even more interesting and fun to read. I liked it so much that I couldn’t put it down.
