Customer comments on this selection.
 Excellent resource and excellent tools
This is a must have for project managers, web department managers or hands-on web designers. The authors give an in-depth, but easy-to-follow, step-by-step process for web design. Although it's called "Redesign," the core processes apply whether it's a redesign or new design. Their accompanying website has great tools and downloads, which I've customized for use in my department, and their sidebar tips are great nuggets of information.
Very practical
We purchased this book as a resource manual for our agency. We develop websites and it is an easy to read, practical guide for approaching the planning phase of executing sound website redesign, as well as the execution. Like many people, we tend to jump too quickly into production and this book has helped our team to slow down and plan more. It makes sense for web designers, web developers, copywriters, project managers and anyone else that comprises a diverse web development team.
 Poorly put together
I had to use this book on college, out of all my books this is the only one that I burned. I even kept my math books. Now that I am an instructor and author myself I look back on this book as the single worse publication currently in the industry of web design. Yes they do spend to much time boasting about themselves. The book goes way off topic about topics unrelated to web design without even a single attempt to justify why it has done so.
br /
br /Kelly is (and I quote from the book) a self-proclaimed "design ethnographer," I do not buy into this line of crap at all. A professional does not self-proclaim anything, if through hard work your peers gave you this title that is one thing. Other then that this is a sign of a person with serious egotistical issues about themselves.
Saved us lots of time and aggravation
My company was recently hired to do a site revision for a HUGE site. This book helped us keep our ducks in a row and do lots of up front work before we started changing over content. The client resources provided at the web site were very helpful! HIghly recommend for any web site designers/developers library.
Kelly Goto deserves the Nobel Prize
Back in the Olden Days of the 20th Century, during the waning days of the dot-com boom, (when a lot of us pioneers thought that we were really awesome web-studs when we actually didn't know diddly-squat) Kelly Goto's first edition not only saved my tail, but actually helped me get a job with a large State located on the west coast of the USA. (I think you've probably heard of the place if you think about it..) I was able to go into the interview and knock 'em dead with my knowledge of web project management.
br /
br /Kelly clearly explains step-by-step what you need to do at the start of a web project in order to avoid an unmitigated disaster at the end of the project. Her advice is straight-forward, logical, and accurate.
br /
br /Flash forward, and suddenly I find myself a web project manager once again, called in to Save the Day because someone else did some really embarrassingly stupid things with a public website. What was the first thing that I did after getting this assignment? Find my Kelly Goto book! What was the second thing I did? Order the newer edition!
br /
br /Kelly offers good solid practical advice. Kelly Goto offers templates on her website. Kelly Goto has sage advice at Adobe.com [...]
br /
br /Heed the wisdom of the sage, Grasshopper, and you will find enlightenment.
