Head First Web Design

A brain-​friendly book by Jeff Siarto and Ethan Watrall, intro­duc­ing aspir­ing web design­ers to the tools and tech­niques needed to create beau­ti­ful, acces­si­ble web­sites using web standards.

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.
