Stop...
...before your organisation designs an internet or intranet site, make sure everyone involved has their own personal copy of this book. Don't let anyone build a server, write one line of code or create a single animated gif until they have read it from cover to to cover. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Useful companion to any series web designer
After visiting the Yale site I had to get this book I have read it and refer to it before, during and at the end of all my web related projects. It is so comprehensive, some of those basic rules do apply to basic design, information architecture and layout

A book fo those training to be Web designers
This book is a compilation of the common knowledge that is spread out through the Web about web design. There are tips that beginer designer should know before starting to design a web site, but there are no innovative ideas, no new desgin methodology is given.
Not a bad book, but look somewhere else for something really new.

A good book for technical and development people
As a developer, I found this book great. I did not have much of an idea about layout, design and presentation of a website. This book gave me just the right level of information that I needed in order to make my website easier and more obvious to use for the casual visitor. It also made me think more about the different types of people that use the web, the hardware used by surfers and, most important of all, graphics!
The only thing I think it lacked was examples - there were several example screens from in and around Yale, but not much from elsewhere. It would have been good to see other types of site. It could also have been a bit more indepth in certain places.
Also I think that someone with a technical authoring or training background would not find this book very useful. Still, I did, and great value for money it was too!

Clear, practical, and intelligent!
If there is one book on web design I'd recommend above all others, it's this one. It speaks to everyone. Technical experts will appreciate how it unlocks creativity and provides fresh insight to web possibilities. Non-tech people like me will breathe a sigh of relief to discover how enjoyable the "nuts and bolts" of web construction can be. You'll be recommending it, too!
