Pomposity

Here's a little tidbit for out-of-work Web design goofballs: your job was easy. A monkey could do it. Worthless navigation leading to worthless content. That's the World Wide Web.

This book isn't bad for what it is, but there's really no need for it.


One of a Kind

This book is must for anyone who manages web development. From tips on workflow and processes to working with clients and timelines, this book spells it all out for you. Even if you are a seasoned web designer, you will find information in this book that can stream line your work flow even further.

An excellent desktop guide to efficient design & workflow

Goto and Cotler bring a ton of experience to bear in this book. It's an excellent manual for small-to-mid sized businesses looking to get an out of control web presence rebuilt into a finely tuned approach. While it is not particularily targeted to seasoned internet vets - there's a lot of good counsel in this book - not just from Cotler and Goto, but from some of the industry's best players. It's also a great book to give to clients looking at how to start efficiently. The books companion site also has free downloads of worksheets and other materials that are helpful. Highly recommended!

The book covers a lot more ground than what the title says

First of all, this book is probably one of the most current ones (at the time of this writing) to dive into the waters of Web Design from a Project Management perspective. It has to be noted that its focus is heavily on design, but always tying things to dealing with the client, timelines, cost, etc. I thought the title didn't do the book much of a favor: in fact, if you're expecting to find content focused exclusively on re-designing your Web site, you're probably bound for dissapointment, since there's only one chapter (the first one) that touches on this topic that has turned into a very commonplace nightmare situation for Web people to be caught in these days.

However the book IS packed with a wealth of content about WEB DESIGN at large, following what the authors call the "Core Process" which consists of 5 phases, all the way from defining the project to launching it an beyond. Two things that I found the book incredible about were: the space devoted to the first two phases of their methodology (planning and developing site structure) clearly overwhelms the rest of the book, which we all (should) know to be in line with the way things should be done -"measure twice, cut once." Also I loved the fact that the book is packed with illustrations in full color, as opposed to other publications out there, which limit those to "centerfolds" or B&W graphics. So, like I told you some time ago to go get the book on "Web Project Management" by Ashley Friedlein (published in 2000), I now advise you to get a copy of this book. As a Web designer, Webmaster or Web Project Manager, you will thank me for it.
