Review: A great source of website ideas... - I am not a web designer; far from it. I wanted a website to promote my photography and I've been struggling to get the right look for months. My boyfriend gave me this book for Christmas and I love it. It's always within arms reach when I'm working on my website. The book is organized by style, by color, and it has the color codes at the end of most chapters, saving tons of time. I was able to create a simple website that I love, the cost was minimal, and I get lots of compliments on my work.
Review: Good book on color usage in design. Needs to be updated soon - This book is a good overview of site design elements. In spite of it's title, I think it's more related to color usage in design, including many palettes, than web design elements as a whole. This book is helpful to start the ideas rolling if you are needing inspiration or are designing for a color/style you haven't tried before. I always like to see a few examples when I'm thinking of a new design. The issues I have are mainly that the book has become a little outdated in it's usage of color and design elements. Web design moves pretty fast and I think any dead tree book is going to be playing catch up no matter how fast they can get it out the door. Still it's a good reference for ideas, just don't copy them too closely or you'll be a bit out of touch with what's current. Still, I knew all this and still purchased the book as a tool. Nothing more. Pros: Good overview of many designs Great categorization of styles,colors themes, etc. Useful reference with easy to find examples. Nice images and paper quality. Cons: Published a couple years back and needs to be updated. I would have liked to see palettes for each design just below the example photo rather than at the end of the section where they aren't particularly linked to any of the examples.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay Book
*by A***9 on December 27, 2009*

I got this book about a month ago. It doesn't take long to read through it all. Overall I thought it was just ok. Sometimes the photos were a little small and you couldn't really see all the detail but there are also some cool website examples here. I think it could be sort of useful in terms of creative layouts but I didn't feel that all the examples were very good. Some of them I just thought were kind of ugly. I know it is just an idea book and I do think that it does present some good ideas and a wide range of styles, just not very elaborately. Overall it's an ok book and I think I'll keep it in my library as it could be somewhat useful if you are needing a little inspiration.
