 Buyer beware - companion website does not have promised resources June 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Part of the value of this book is the promise that the author will provide templates and examples. This promise is worth zero. If you go to the companion website, there is a note from the author that says, essentially, "Ooops, so sorry. Got too busy." Just a tad unprofessional? I guess different people have different perspectives on such things.
Call me crazy, but one would think that the author would have had a whole stack of examples and templates BEFORE he wrote the book. How else would he know what documents are needed? Just a rhetorical question.....
The book itself is useful, don't get me wrong. I am just very disappointed in the lack of companion material. Other reviews very adequately cover the content.
In terms of practical help, AND downloadable templates, I vastly prefer Web ReDesign 2.0: Workflow that Works (2nd Edition) by Kelly Goto.
Kelly Goto's advice saved my tail when I was a newbie in the field (waaaaay back in the dark ages of the 20th century), and still has relevance for me today.

A Good Reference for WebSite Design May 26, 2008
I'm using this text for my CIS 3900 Business Web Architecture course at Western Michigan University. THis text is geared more towards the designers perspective of wed site creation, more so then development. It's an easy to read text,not full of overly complicated jargon, and tends to be a fast read with lots of helpful diagrams. For anyone looking to explore the dynamics of creating a web site to meet the needs of your client, it certainly is a good source of information and topics to consider during the process.
