Review
Clint Eccher has designed professional Web sites for seven years andnow makes some of his designs available as templates through his ownsite (A5design.com) and with his new book, Professional Web Design.You get 50 templates (each of which features home and second-levelpages) and careful instructions on how to adapt them for your own use.Along the way, Eccher offers sound advice on good Web design practices;a little bit about HTML, cascading style sheets, and JavaScript; a lookat JPEGs and GIFs; and some insight into “comping” (sketching) a sitedesign for the client’s approval.
For the most part, however, this book addresses just those aspectsof Web design that readers will need to know in order to successfullyutilize the templates. These are designed as “mortised” sites; that is,they are built with nested tables and sliced GIF/JPEG combinations, thekind of design made easy with the advent of Adobe’s ImageReady andMacromedia’s Fireworks. Although this is not a how-to about using thoseapplications or about creating such sites from scratch, Eccher doeshelp readers learn how to debug and otherwise adjust the source code inorder to successfully implement the designs. In addition to trialversions of the major applications, the CD-ROM also contains theJavaScript Cookbook and HTML/CSS Developer’s Resource Guide, whichprovide lots of cut-and-paste source code for all kinds of features(games, sounds, pop-up messages) that can be added to a Web page.
One caveat: despite the templates, this book is too detailed forbeginners. For those with some experience, and especially fordevelopers who lack design skills and like the A5design style, thisbook amounts to an intensive Clint Eccher brain-picking seminar. Heoffers a few tricks that can be applied to any design (like his tips onhow to drastically reduce file sizes) and some good general advice (forexample, “Do not get attached to the work” because a client may justdecide against it). –Angelynn Grant –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
