No matter how visually appealing or content-packed a Web site may be, if
it’s not adaptable to a variety of situations and reaching the widest
possible audience, it isn’t really succeeding. In Bulletproof Web
Desing, author and Web designer extraordinaire, Dan Cederholm outlines
standards-based strategies for building designs that provide
flexibility, readability, and user control–key components of every
sucessful site. Each chapter starts out with an example of an
unbulletproof site one that employs a traditional HTML-based approach
which Dan then deconstructs, pointing out its limitations. He then gives
the site a make-over using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), so
you can see how to replace bloated code with lean markup and CSS for
fast-loading sites that are accessible to all users. Finally, he covers
several popular fluid and elastic-width layout techniques and pieces
together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a
single-page template.
