Summary: Worth every dime!!
Review: I run an online based company called Onlinemetals and first read "Web Pages That Suck" because of the goofy title. What I found was great advise that every serious minded web developer or business owner should know. The basics tools in this book have helped me to guide the "teky minded" developers in the right direction and have without a doubt helped my customers have a better and faster expierance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining, informative and educational
Review: I was skeptical when I saw the dorks on the cover but found it to be very helpful. The book not only shows bad design and sites, it shows the good ones as well. I found the book very beneficial because it not only found fault with Web Sites, it offered solutions and showed steps to correct the problems. WPTS offers sections on how to program and design using PhotoShop,HTML and shareware available off the web or the CD included with the book. I sent this book to my brother, who is very familiar with designing, programming and related topics and he loved it as well.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring, NOT funny, and totally outdated.
Review: I was utterly unimpressed by these two fools. They rant about design and then throw pictures of themselves on the cover of their book??? That seems a bit lame and also very scary as you can tell by the picture up above. They assume that in order for a web site to have good navigation and overall unity that it must be extremely bland. (...) Also the book still costs a fortune for a 3+ year old internet book...total ripoff.

If you want to learn design from a couple of internet geeks then this book suites you well. You too can learn how to put your face on every page, and use all the pretty pastels of the rainbow! ughhh...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sucks a paradox
Review: Ideas are presented in a easy to understand manner showing how great concepts fail miserably in web design. Ths KISS principle is evident throughout this book and their "No holds barred" attitude is refreshing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great for the beginner or those w/o an eye for design!
Review: If I had not been given this book by a friend, I would have never read it. But, once I started glancing at it, before I knew it, I was reading every word. I really appreciated the reference information it gave throughout, which would help in weeding through all the software hype on the internet. I feel this book is certainly an easy and refreshing read and have recommended it to several entering the world of web development. For those who have been in the business a while, this would hopefully only reinforce what you know and give you a few laughs.

Summary: Deserves less than a star
Review: If you've been to his website, you will see just how truly un-knowledgable the author is.. He's funny, articulate, and rock stupid as far as target audiences and economics. This book, and the corresponding website (which may I add crashes the latest version of IE) is not even slightly useful to the serious web enterpenuer.

Summary: Best book on Web design of seven that I have read + funny!
Review: In preparing a text on Internet Marketing, I was delighted to discover this book and would strongly recommend it to anyone who's not a born aesthete but wants to create pleasing Web pages. Through humor, the authors drive home valid principles of visual and functional design.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very little useful content
Review: It is very good to understand the importance of simplicity on the web sites. Not all webs are fantastic if they have flash or animation!! you just need to be very concise!! say the things that the customer need and that is all!! good book!!

Rating: 3 stars
