WEB PAGE DESIGN - FOR DESIGNERS - by Joe Gillespie - As featured on Netscape's What's New Page
Web Page Design for Designers is a new site dedicated to promoting and furthering high standards of design for World Wide Web pages.
Aimed primarily at graphic designers and web designers who want to brush up on the skills required for this new technology, it is in itself, a prime example of state-of-the-art web page design.
Presented in a unique and stylish format, it provides a comprehensive tutorial on producing graphics for the computer screen with lots of tricks and tips for squeezing more typographic control out of HTML - without getting too technical.
It provides insight into the mysteries of colour palettes and their cross-platform implications and explains the differences between GIF and JPEG file formats - which to use, and when.
Navigation between web pages has may pitfalls both through poor interface design and implementation. Basic rules are suggested to help prevent users getting lost in cyberspace.
Stylish web pages are all very well but many fall down on their poor use of the Internet's restricted bandwidth. Web Page Design for Designers shows how your web pages can be pretty, fast!
And to finish off, there is a lively forum, updated three times a week, with comments and tips from designers all over the World and a Links page to point to other web resources and examples of well designed sites.
