About the course

Please note, a new edition of this book is available here. Clipart, Comic Sans, and clashing colors ... If any of these fail to make you cringe, this book will teach you why they’re design no-nos. SitePoint’s best-selling design book, The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, has been revamped in this edition to cater to a variety of web professionals without a graphic design or art school background. By the end of the book, you’ll be able to apply the fundamental principles of design and create beautiful websites of your own—seriously!
