Good Reading

Hello Again,

For Christmas, I received a great book titled "Guidelines for Online Successs". I started reading this on Christmas, which was around the same time I wanted to put into action the new layout of my website (as it is now).

The book provides a very strong and simple foundation for web-designers alike no matter the experience. It takes a look at various aspects of web-design, navigation, content, e-commerce, layout and so much more.

I strongly recommend you either purchase this book or borrow it from your local library. I gurantee you won't regret it! Whether you're looking for ideas, inspiration or information about different topics regarding the many elements of web-design, this book will break the ice and arm you with a good insight to the good/ user-friendly web design.

What I liked most about the book was the way the information was presented. The contributor of the chapter would write the intro then the next few pages would contain screen-shots of web-sites that best portray the authors point(s). With each introduction to a new chapter, there would be good five point list of Do's and Don'ts related to the chapter, which I found pretty easy to grasp, instead of ploughing through pages and paragraphs of do's and don'ts. This book breaks information down into bitesize chunks!

A book that I'm sure to return to in the future when I want to find inspiration and information for my next layout or project.

Let me know what you all think.

Good Night,
Ren
