Book Reviews of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

Book Review: This book on web design is Unique
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a novice at creating websites and I have struggled especially with page layout and colour. This book answers so many of the questions I have regarding the theory behind actually constructing pages. Other books just tell you it should be done like this, and give you a picture to look at. Jason's book is different in that he is sharing with you the thought process behind each technique, which helps you to construct great looking pages on your own. He seems to explain how you can master the technique he is describing, rather than just leaving you to master it on your own. Although this book only has 168 pages, it covers everything you need to know about designing a website. This should be the first book you buy if you are looking to understand web design and how to create websites of your own. Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!
