Live, Unmoderated Customer Reviews

Here is what our customers are saying about this product.

"This has been a very insightful book for me seeing that i am not a designer. It is always good for a programmer to know the fundamentals of designing as we invariably get involved in it also."

Marius Kemp , 3 Jun 2008

"I find that this book is very informative and has much needed information on how to create a beautiful webpage
I myself would like to see a book come out on how to create a stationery site as well, as that is where my mindset is.
Being an amateur photographer, I am seeking to create a beautiful stationery site but find the web providers are no help in learning how to put one together."

Cameron Schulte , 1 Jun 2008

"I was hoping for more web-specific inspiration. I was raised by an architect, in a previous life I worked in apparel design and for the last 20 years I have been doing desktop application design.

"While the principles discussed in this book are solid, they have all been around since long before the Internet. There is really nothing new here."

Pamela Thalacker , 29 May 2008

"Great intro to design for this developer..."

Dean Budd , 27 May 2008

"I found this book to be very helpful. The author does a good job of balancing abstract concepts with concrete examples all in a way that is accessible to designers with very little experience."

Carl , 26 May 2008

"Last week I just finished reading "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design" and I'm already halfway through "The Art & Science of CSS." This is only the beginning as I hope to read many more books from sitepoint. These are great books that provide an abundance of information complete with real life examples which really speed up the learning process."

Jesse Rinka , 22 May 2008

"Before buying a book I like to scan the pages and make sure it is what I want. Your sample downloads are great and convince me every time to buy the whole book.
The Principles of Beautiful Web Design is really a worthwhile addition to my Web Design library. Excellent material. Helps me improve my dull web site. Well balanced and easy on the soul."

Jacques Volkerts , 17 May 2008

"This book wasn't for me, but it was a nice summary of things I already knew..."

Kim , 15 May 2008

"Excellent book, definitely pointed me in the right direction, useful choice of illustrations to enforce the text."

Gerald Woodruff , 9 May 2008

"I bought this book hoping to get a more detailed insight about practices and web-design techniques in our web 2.0 world and it proved to be all that I hoped for and much more. The book covers a lot of information about handling most common elements of a modern web-site and the use of different layouts and color combinations to achieve an eye and user-friendly layout and design.

"Excellent book!"

Bogdan Nenu , 8 May 2008

"One of really really cool books about designing good websites. Particularly helpful for those who do not have any training in graphic designing and this book provides all details about every aspect of website designing in all respects. Highly recommended."

Kusum Kaushal , 5 May 2008

"Although I have yet to read it, the book promises to be all it was reported to be by the reviewer in our local webmaster's group here in Fort Worth, TX."

Carl D Brown , 3 May 2008

"This book was both educational and insightful and I would recommend it to people who have an understanding of what's involved in creating a website but need some direction/tips when it comes to putting together the complete package, i.e. content + style."

Robert Lee , 1 May 2008

"I found this book to be very informative, yet also very easy to read. I found the concepts easy to follow and visualize. It was more a conceptual look at website design than a technical manual, meaning that it would be as useful to someone with just a handful of HTML experience as it was to me with many years of HTML/XML experience."

Rebecca Ward , 1 May 2008

"Very interesting read, especially for a non-artistic designer such as myself."

Nick Parry , 27 Apr 2008
