Designing with Web Standards

If you know a bit about web design you are likely to hear a lot about web standards. And you are likely to be recommended this book, too. Designing with Web Standards is basically a two part book on Web Standards. The first part is the manifesto, why you should care about web standards. The second is the instructional part, how do you apply web standards.

For those that want to get started in web design this book is a must read. Many designers think that they can just design their site to look good in Internet Explorer and be done with it. That is a dangerous notion, as you’ll learn from this book, and one that is becoming increasingly untrue. After reading this book, if you still insist that designing for Explorer alone is acceptable, then there is no hope for you.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough for beginning and experienced web designers. If you use these techniques you can help your clients and help the Internet community with the sites you be able to create.

A web developer may pay more attention to how a page looks while neglecting other copywriting and search engine optimization functions such as the readability of text, the ease of navigating the site, or how easily the visitors are going to find the site. As a result, the designers may end up in disputes where some want more decorative graphics at the expense of keyword-rich text, bullet lists, and text links.
