Title: Websites that Work by Roger Black, Sean Elder ISBN: 1568303467 Publisher: Adobe Press Pub. Date: 24 March, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $45.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.86

Summary: Lots of flash, mostly trash
Comment: Although this book is very pretty with lots of ink, thick pages, and nice graphics, I thought that the information value was very low. All of the information that was worth anything could have fit in a magazine article. This book seems to be a "look how cool Roger Black is" book, and it even has a little section in the back all about Roger Black, in case you didn't catch it from the rest of the book. Roger Black's Web work is very nice, so he has a lot to brag about, but this book should not have been the way to go about it. Although his Web design may work for certain audiences, there's much more to it than this very opinionated (and limited) version. He should stick to magazine design. Don't waste your money. This book is not only over-priced because of the flashy presentation, but it's not even worth the content.

Summary: A web site hobbyist gets schooled
Comment: I run a website purely as hobby. Having never taken a single graphic design or html course, or read a single book on the subject, I picked up this book at a book wholesaler and got it out of curiosity. I found it to be a non-threatening and friendly introduction to basic rules of web design. Before I went simply on what I thought looked good and what loaded fast. Now I know just a little bit more that can really make a page work well. Particularly helpful is the chapter called "Web sites that DON'T work."
Rating: 5
Summary: Black knows what's what
Comment: If you're passionate about Web design and want to do it right the first time out, then read Roger's book Web Sites That Work. This is the kind of advice that companies such as MSN and CondeNast pay big bucks for!
The book is well-designed itself and almost comes off as a photo essay in parts with plenty of pictures of our hero, Roger Black, studying the Web and transforming pages into online art forms.
In this book, you'll learn valuable tips about what to do and
NOT to do with your Web site. Roger also speaks extensively
on the principles of online navigation, personalization,
transaction, teamwork, and the future of the Net.
Aside from the stellar pointers, the book has plenty of candid
Roger action shots to make any fan jump for joy.
