page, a site for a client, or a corporate site, you'll find this book invaluable for all aspects of design. This
handbook covers: Site structure Information-based sites Special tricks such as making your site load
quickly Effective fonts Appropriate software to use in developing your page And more! Step by step,
this book takes you through a third-generation site makeover, creation of a personal page, a storefront,
a hotlist, and a gallery. Plus, you'll discover a fascinating program to aid in development without using HTML!
This high-quality, full-color guide places an emphasis on good typography, clean graphics, site architecture, and information design.

"Creating Killer Web Sites points to the future of the web. This
book has two parts. It discusses the theory of what makes a well-designed
web site and the tools and infrastructure designers need to build
the sites of the future. My book emphasizes visual solutions to
hard problems, rather than particular techniques for achieving
those solutions. Second, it teaches you how to make good looking,
effective sites for today's browsers. There are also two chapters
on designing with Adobe's PDF".
