Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction: Design a Web Site That Generates Traffic
Sebastopol, CA--Designing a successful web site takes planning, expert design elements, and the careful selection of features geared toward generating repeat visitors. Enter Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction (Campbell, O'Reilly, US$39.99) --a straightforward and practical, hands-on guide focused on the best practices for designing, laying out, and constructing both interactive and static web sites. Clear and thorough, it emphasizes learning by doing, with short, task-oriented chapters that use screen shots, illustrations, and sample layouts to demonstrate theory through design solutions.
Sidebars in Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction allow readers to decide how deeply they want to delve into the subject. "Best Bets" offer bottom-line recommendations for those who want to skip the general discussion, while "Behind the Scenes" sidebars provide more in-depth looks at particular topics for those who want more detail.

Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction was written by Marc Campbell, a Macromedia Certified Dreamweaver Developer and beta tester, he has also taught web design to students at all levels and has written eight books on the subject. Said Campbell, "Whether you're a beginner who wants to design a state-of-the-art family web site or a new job forces you to learn Dreamweaver fast, this book will get you up to speed quickly and efficiently.
