[8:00 AM] The December Edition Of Web Page Design For Designers Is Ready
by Staff

The December issue of Web Page Design for Designers (WPDFD) is available. The WPDFD is geared toward assisting graphics and design professionals or hobbyists make the transition to the World Wide Web. According to WFDFD:

The purpose of Web Page Design for Designers is not to teach people how to produce web pages. There is little mention of HTML or any other technical stuff except where necessary. It is assumed that the reader already has a grasp of HTML programming, or has made the decision to use a WYSIWYG Web page editor. It is aimed at people who are already involved with design and typography for conventional print and want to explore the possibilities of this new electronic medium. They are probably already using page layout tools like QuarkXPress, Photoshop, Freehand and Illustrator and have discovered that designing web pages is something quite different.

This month is the E-commerce special. Topics include:

  • Growing Pains - Some companies are losing customers, revenue and credibility through badly implemented online ordering systems. Joe
  • Gillespie explains why the onus is on the designer to get it right first time.
  • Quest for a Cart - Shopping carts reviewed by Terry Kluytmans.
  • WIN Web design software prizes in the new monthly WPDFD competition.
  • Getting Listed - Johannes Selbach tells you how to get your site listed in the top search engines.
  • A newly revised and updated Web design links section.
  • Web Design Survey - See what other Web designers are using.

You can find more information, and the full issue, at the Web Page Design for Designers web site.
