Summary: For me this book is an excellent introduction to Web Design
Review: After reading Jakob Nielson book I literally searched for all his recommendations of must reads. Dynamic Concept & Design is one of them. After reading the first page I knew this was a prized possesion. I work within Information Systems and this is my next step in my evolution of this career. After atttending school what seems like my whole life I personally welcome the traditional, non-traditional approach to learning about Web concepts and design. If anyone can find a copy of this book I recommend it as a permanant reference and introduction source. Wondering if she is going to publish another edition of this book.

Summary: A comprehensible and useful book on Web design
Review: If your'e going to buy one book only on web design I'd recommend this. It's an excellent reference book for designers. I'll also recommend it to communicate important ideas about web publishing to other parts of a business organisation.

Summary: Dynamic Concept & Design: With CDROM
Review: This book took 2 mins to annoy me. The content looks like it was written by an eight year old. If you know nothing about web, design or computers, then you may stand a chance of learing something from this book. If however, you are over 10 years old, then you may find this book as simple and boring as I did. It has no design, and it's supposed to be a book on design. It had 2 typo's by the time I'd finished the introduction, by which point, I couldn't bring myself to read a sentence more. An appauling book with no real content or knowledge of the subject.

Summary: Dynamic Concept & Design: With CDROM
Review: Wow! How refreshing! But, more than refreshing, it was very informative. I am a newbie to the web design world. Crystal goes straight to the point on what needs to be done, what matters. I read and used her latest book Universal Web Design w/ CD also. It was equally as good. She has a real talent to take complicated information and present in a way that takes the fear out of creating! Thank you, Crystal!

Summary: Web design not page design
Review: You will see in one of the reviews that someone says that "Siegel's book is better". I strongly disagree. Siegel wrote a book called "Creating Killer Web Sites", which was concerned principally with the details of creating great web pages. WC&D contains very little of the technical details of how to create web pages (you can pick those details straight off the web and they will be more up to date than any book) but instead the author teaches how to create a web site that does something. She tells you how to focus on your audience and concentrate on serving them, rather than focussing on your own creative needs and serving yourself. I read the book and found that my site hits went from a couple of hundred to 12,000 a day. IMHO this book is a classic of web design, and unlike the many huge books on HTML tag usage, it will not go out of date.
