Web Tricks and Techniques: Layout frees Web designers from having to slog through dense computer manuals and copy time-consuming code. With this invaluable new reference, Web designers at all experience levels can get up to speed immediately on the latest technologies- and use them to create compelling online sites.
New and better technologies have created increasingly demanding consumers. A Web site that doesn't incorporate the latest effects will have trouble keeping the user's attention-and the challenge to deliver lies squarely with today's Web designers. Now, Rockport Publishers helps designers meet this challenge with the Web Tricks and Techniques series. These user-friendly reference guides are designed to make even the most complicated and intimidating Web technology easy to understand.
Using a straightforward format that allows readers to look over the shoulder of top design experts, Layout offers tips and tricks for every element of Web page design. Step-by-step instructions walk the reader through a wide range of challenges, from general layout issues (storyboarding and architecture essentials) to navigation (pop-down/up menus and collapsible navigation bars) to special effects with text, and an accompanying Web site includes actual HTML codes to download, making each featured "trick" work.
