Web Page Design: A Different Multimedia

You Already Know HTML . . . Now What?

Anyone can design a web page. But it takes more than basic HTML skill to build a world-class web site.

The World Wide Web is a new form of multimedia with significant design capabilities . . . and restrictions. To communicate effectively on the Web, you need to integrate design techniques from a wide range of traditional media including audience analysis, cognitive design, layout, navigational design and, of course, graphics design.

In their book, Mary Morris and Randy Hinrichs go beyond the standard advice offered in other Web books and show readers how to tackle the crucial problems of:

• Designing of Agent technology with Meta-Information
• Finding your web page problems before the users do
• Evolving your design

Best of all, you'll learn how to design effectively with new technologies like Java, VRML and stylesheets.

A year ago, it was enough to have a web page. Now you need an exceptional web page. This book will show you how to design one.
