Head First Web Design builds on a work­ing knowl­edge of XHTML and CSS—guiding read­ers through the pre-​​production process, story-​​boarding, page lay­out, color, user test­ing and more.

Like other titles in the Head First series, this book tells sto­ries, uses visu­als to help you remem­ber the impor­tant stuff and—most impor­tantly—makes you think. Head First Web Design takes advan­tage of the way your brain really works and will have you build­ing great-​​looking, standards-​​compliant web­sites from the very first chap­ter.
