Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you still designing web sites like it's 1999? If so, you're in for a surprise. Since the last edition of this book appeared five years ago, there has been a major climate change with regard to web standards. Designers are no longer using (X)HTML as a design tool, but as a means of defining the meaning and structure of content. Cascading Style Sheets are no longer just something interesting to tinker with, but rather a reliable method for handling all matters of presentation, from fonts and colors to the layout of the entire page. In fact, following the standards is now a mandate of professional web design. Our popular reference, Web Design in a Nutshell, is one of the first books to capture this new web landscape with an edition that's been completely rewritten and expanded to reflect the state of the art. In addition to being an authoritative reference for (X)HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, this book also provides an overview of the unique requirements of designing for the Web and gets to the nitty-gritty of JavaScript and DOM Scripting, web graphics optimization, and multimedia production. It is an indispensable tool for web designers and developers of all levels. The third edition covers these contemporary web design topics: Structural layer: HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 (9 chapters), including an alphabetical reference of all elements, attributes and character entities Presentation layer: Ten all-new chapters on Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2.1, including an alphabetical reference of all properties and values. Behavior layer: JavaScript and scripting with the Document Object Model (DOM) Web environment: New web standards, browsers, display devices, accessibility, and internationalization Web graphics optimization: Producing lean and mean GIF, JPEG, PNG, and animated GIFs Multimedia: Web audio, video, Flash, and PDF Organized so that readers can find answers quickly, Web Design in a Nutshell, Third Edition helps experienced designers come up to speed quickly on standards-based web design, and serves as a quick reference for those already familiar with the new standards and technology. There are many books for web designers, but none that address such a wide variety of topics. Find out why nearly half a million buyers have made this the most popular web design book available.

Download or read book Wix Made Easy written by James Bernstein and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-29 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing trend of everything being online and the need for businesses and even individuals to have a "web presence", it makes sense that we would see an increase in website creation tools geared towards those who might not have the technical skills required to do real HTML website coding. Not too long ago, if you wanted a website created for yourself or your company, you would need to hire a website developer to do all the work, and this is certainly not a cheap process. There are several online website creation tools you can use to build your own website but many of them simply do an average job and only allow you to create a basic looking website. Wix on the other hand has a vast array features that you can apply to your pages to create very professional looking websites without needing to have a web designer background. The goal of this book is to get you up and running with Wix and cover all the things you need to know to get you started creating professional looking websites. It sticks with the basics yet covers all aspects of the application to help you accomplish your goals without needing to be a computer genius. The chapters in the book cover the following topics: Chapter 1 - Overview and Signing Up Chapter 2 - The Wix Interface Chapter 3 - Creating a New Website Chapter 4 - Adding Design Elements Chapter 5 - Adding Pages Chapter 6 - Advanced Features Chapter 7 - Tools and Settings Chapter 8 - Publishing Your Website About the Author James Bernstein has been working with various companies in the IT field for over 20 years, managing technologies such as SAN and NAS storage, VMware, backups, Windows Servers, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Networking, Microsoft Office, Exchange, and more.
