Product Description

Book Description

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.

From the Back Cover

No matter how visually appealing or packed with content your Web site is, it isn’t succeeding if it’s not reaching the widest possible audience. If you get this guide, you can be assured it will! By deconstructing a series of real-world Web sites, author and Web designer extraordinaire Dan Cederholm outlines 10 strategies for creating standards-based designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control—key components of every successful Web site. Each chapter starts out with an example of what Dan refers to as an “unbulletproof” concept—an existing site that employs a traditional approach and its associated pitfalls. Dan then deconstructs that approach, noting its downsides and then making the site over using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). By the end of each chapter, you’ll have replaced traditional, bloated, inaccessible page components with lean markup and CSS. The guide culminates with a chapter that pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single page template. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars CSS Done Correctly, Jun 28 2006
By 
This review is from: Bulletproof Web Design: Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
This book is one of the best books I have read on CSS and building assessible website. The book describes how to create pages that load fast and scale correctly when the user chooses a larger font. Additionally, the author guides the reader on how to create a useful site even when the user disables the images and style sheets in their browser.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Promis Of CSS Fulfilled, Finally, Oct 13 2006

This review is from: Bulletproof Web Design: Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
For those facing the annoyance of writing HTML on a regular basis, CSS has been full promise but has failed to deliver for years because many browsers will not interpret it consistently. This book gives you those hacks needed to position items on the page with CSS for all browsers. Now you can write just one set of code that will also work for PDAs and 56K dial-ups. The simplified code will make dynamic pages a snap. Say good-bye and good-riddance to spacer.gif and embedded tables.

This review is from: Bulletproof Web Design: Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS (Paperback)
Even though this book is 2 years old, the processes and procedures that are discussed throughout this book are still today's standards.

Well written and easy to follow steps.

I picked up a lot from reading this book.
