Editorial Reviews:
No matter how visually appealing or content-packed a Web site may be, if it's not adaptable to a variety of situations and reaching the widest possible audience, it isn't really succeeding. In Bulletproof Web Desing, author and Web designer extraordinaire, Dan Cederholm outlines standards-based strategies for building designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control--key components of every sucessful site. Each chapter starts out with an example of an unbulletproof site one that employs a traditional HTML-based approach which Dan then deconstructs, pointing out its limitations. He then gives the site a make-over using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), so you can see how to replace bloated code with lean markup and CSS for fast-loading sites that are accessible to all users. Finally, he covers several popular fluid and elastic-width layout techniques and pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single-page template.

Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good tips, but bulletproofing is harder than you think Comment: I knew little CSS but this book actually helped me get started, which I thought was good for such an advanced book. • There's also a helpful reference section in the back. But actually implementing one of the bullet proof schemes is tough—at least for a begginer. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent resource! Comment: I recommend this book to others frequently. The tutorials are easy to follow and cover a lot of everyday situations. Should be used in classrooms... Customer Rating: Summary: Even a experienced Web Designer can learn some thing new... Comment: I highly recommend this book, regardless of how much experience you have, most readers will pickup a few new techniques after reading the book. Many of the concepts will help a web designer make lighter websites and better css styles. The book is a quick read for most people, and the advice is very practical. Customer Rating: Summary: Great book Comment: Excellent book, brings up a lot of good accessibility and best practice points. This will make me a better web developer. Customer Rating: Summary: Useful techniques for everyday development Comment: Dan Cederholm runs down a list of tips and tricks where he teaches us how to protect our design in worst case scenarios, it's definitely not an entry level book and a great source of techniques. Recommended reading.
