Others say...

"wow?!"
No "wow"... I did not feel "wow" when I saw this book. I needed better design book...

"I Agree, This Book is Way Too Old"
Even the CDROM that comes with this book has ancient versions of the demo programs offered. For example, they gave me a Dreamweaver 1.0 demo, but DreamWeaver is already up to version 3.1. This book did not teach me much either. What a waste of money. I give it 1 star... for the pretty pictures... but some of them were even fuzzy.

"YES, web design and MORE!"
I've used this book for two years as a text and inspirational idea book in my web design class. The best thing about the book is that it speaks to the "process" of web design as well as design basics, covering all the bases in marketing and publishing and also addresses portfolio and self-promotion. Frankly, there is far too much in the book for one course but I find that each student finds something unique to their way of working that helps them produce better images and design. However, after two years I was hoping for a second edition to cover new technology available to the web designer.

If you want to know about the how and why of web design, this is a excellent book. It is not just a "picture" book but a learning guide. I highly recommend it.

"This book is too old.."
I am a web developer/programmer who loves good looking web pages. This book has webpages that are just too old. I think those pages could have been thought of as good-looking ones, but that's not true anymore. If you are trying to get some inspiration on your web design, there are tons of books with recent, breathtakingly beautiful webpages.. Just look somewhere else.. or go to the bookstore near you and check out all the books about web graphics..

This is not related to this book.. but the Photoshop WOW book is a great one..

"Only Eye Candy with no substance."
With my first browse, it appeared this book would be a worthy addition, but once I got into the meat of the book I found it had very little worth except for a few inspirational moments. The title leads you to believe it is about the web. Actually about have of it is. The other half is on CD design and packaging. Most of these designs would be way to graphic intensive for a smart web page. Also there is no info on how these designs were actually accomplished. No case histories. Only skin deep reviews about the project. For me, it would be unwise to spend the [money] on this publication. This is truly only eye-candy.

What our customer's say!

"Lamest design book I've ever seen", I was required to buy this pointless little book for a college class I took several years ago and I still regret wasting money on it. It had no substance whatsoever. Every once in a while I'd see a nice little blurb about information architecture or page layout, but it was 99% fluff. Everyone stoped bringing it to class after the second week, because the only times it was useful were those rare occasions when we had designers block and needed to jack someone else's full-color idea.

Now I am the kind of person who likes to horde all kinds of books, but I sold The Web Design Wow Book at the campus bookstore (only got a couple bucks for it because, surprise, it was never used in any other classes) because I was embarrassed to have it on my shelf.

People learning how to design interfaces or looking for inspiration would be much better off with something like Web Pages That Suck or Edward Tufte's Envisioning Information.

"Outdated", This book is useful for one thing... an interesting historical perspective on the web.
Published in 1998 (thus written in 1997) this is a a 7-year old book. MUCH has changed since that time, and leaving this in print without a new edition is disgraceful on the part of both the authors and publisher.
I guarantee that 90% of the websites they use as examples have completley changed their interface and design since this book.
In fact, many of the examples they show are hopelessly confused and chaotic front pages, that may have worked as a novelty back in the day, but will not have staying power with modern-day web surfers.
They are dozens of new and much better books on the market for the moeny... "Home Page Usability" and the incredible "Design of Site"s are two of my favorites.

"book was ok not what I expected.", The book was not that great source it was ok but the condition of the book was excellent. Thanks

"Not bad, but VERY outdated!", I ran into this book while looking for the best thing out there in terms of Web Design. Well, this book is just 4 years too old, unfortunately. Some of the examples, yes, they made sense... but they lack some of the elements that have come to the forefront of the field in the past few years. I was amazed that it was still in the shelves, in fact! If you want an EXCELLENT and current (as of this writing) book on the topic, get yourself a copy of "Web Redesign: Workflow That Works" by Kelly Goto, Emily Cotler. You'll be happy if you do!

"This Book Is Not Good", I do not understand the reason they chose to tie the title to web design only, since the book addresses CD-Rom and multimedia projects also. Furthermore, this book is too simplistic to be really helpful. I read the first half and only scanned the rest of it. With all the good materials on web design, I could not afford to waste my time on this one. The pictures of web home pages disseminated here and there are the only good thing about this text. They are good looking and can help generate some ideas; plus, they are in full color.

"Fun", I started a web business on my own and it's been great. What this book does is gives me ideas, other directions of thought. It isn't a bible, and some sites chosen are pretty hopless, but some are great.I use it to show my clients as example, and I build on that. It's similar to going to the barber, the client need to check out the different styles in the magazines. Another book that I find excellent is called www.type the better of the two

"Great Inspiration", As a web designer I have found this book to be most inspirational. While I do not agree that all of the sites that he lists in the book are designed well, it does provide many examples of various types of web sites with beautiful pictures and site layouts.

"Great content, Great Photos", This is a great book highlighting main concepts in web design, and including sites that work. This is a great resource for novices, intermediates, and professionals. If you want to get some great ideas based in sound design concepts, this book is a must have.

"When you need inspiration for interface design, read this.", A visually stimulating and inspiring book that is one of my favorate on graphic design for the electronic media. This is not a book for beginners who are learning the basics of web design though, for it focuses on the visual aspect of interface design alone.

"A Total Waste of Hard-Earned Money!!!", This book shows some lovely examples of web design. However, Do they Work?? Not to mention, their website for this book offers More information on More websites that you can actually SEE working!! I regret ever spending my money on this!
