Customer Reviews

Excellent choice of featured sites.

I've looked at many books that just print screen shots of "the best web sites", and IMHO this is the only one worth buying. This is because a) it is really good value for money, and b) a really good editing job has been done so that only some real class web sites are included. Just flipping through the pages you come across so many ideas - Great for website designers. And, I find the very short comments are usually pretty insightful, and draw your attention to the most salient points. The previous reviewer mentioned that it contains no content about navigation. Well of course not. The title of the book is NOT "Website Navigation", it is "Website Graphics: Navigation" and it is part of a series, the others being "Website Graphics: Typography" and "Website Graphics: Color". But anyway I disagree with the reviewer. You can learn a lot about alternative ways of navigating through websites using this book. Instead of a vertical menu down the left hand side, why not use dials or a street map metaphor. Also there are multiple ways of indicating which page/section the user is in, some of them very creative. Well done to the editors, you have chosen very good sites. I am currently recommending that my institute's library gets the whole set of three.
