The Web Designer's 101 Most Important Decisions: Professional Secrets for a Winning Website

I have not yet put most of it to work yet but I had checked the book out from the library and it was so informative I had to buy it. It is well illustrated which is always helpful, quite detailed, and has information on useful websites to use as well.

Each of the 101 articles in this book provides a good, one or two page overview of a particular aspect of 11 different areas of website development and design (content, navigation, layout, accessibility, etc.). Since the articles are short they aren't going to tell you everything you need to know, but they do give you enough information to point you in the right direction for additional research and reading. This book is also a good source of inspiration and ideas for whatever web project you may be working on.

Although this 2012 edition has some outdated information, I personally still found it to be a valuable overview of the important considerations to be mindful of when embarking on building a website. The colorful and well thought out layout and visual design also made it a delightful as well as informative read. Obviously at 2025 much has changed regarding html, css, et al. Perhaps it is time for Scott Parker to reward us with a new updated 2025 version?!!

i started reading this book from the library and kept rechecking it out so i had to buy it it is a pretty good book full of great ideas and decisions you have to make

It is a good reference book - specially for people who are new to web design like myself. However, I have one complaint that the type / font size used is very small which makes it a headache to read.

Eh. A long list of things to consider without any real insight. Fairly vague. Not bad but not great.

An excellent book for what it sets out to do. It would more accurately be described as "101 important things to bear in mind when designing a website". Each of those 101 things is briefly described on one (or sometimes 2) pages; they are all important so the book is at one level a "check list" of what to remember. It won't tell you how to write HTML code, how to organise your page or what colours to use, but it will point you in the right direction often to appropriate web based resources.
