David Siegel's classic guide to good taste in Web design has been completely overhauled in this second edition. More of a style guide than an HTML guide, Creating Killer Web Sites is concerned with the building of Third-Generation sites, Web sites that are conceived by design and not by technological ability. Siegel and his helpers at Studio Verso overview a wide variety of topics, including a history of browsers, how to use specific HTML tags, how to select software tools, and advice on pure aesthetic design.

Like the first edition, the second edition of the book contains an attractive design, a graphic on every page, and screen shots of successful Web pages that will set any designer's wheels in motion. If you're brand new to Web site creation, this is an excellent introduction to the ideas involved with site design.

Throwing together a small and snazzy home page on the Net is trivial. Throwing together a large and annoying Web site on the Net is not much more difficult. But crafting a large, snazzy, and compelling Web site on the Net is nearly impossible unless web team do a lot of advance planning and carefully thought-out usability studies.

Happily, the author of this book--with experience as a Web site designer for Netscape and an interface designer for Silicon Graphics and Sun--walks web team through the entire process. The book is especially strong in its coverage of frames and Framesets. Highly recommended for all serious designers of large-scale Web sites.
