Principles of Beautiful Websites
Sitepoint has come up with a very interesting and fabulous book (IMO). Even though i am occupied with other things to design a site, this is one purchase which will come in handy in the future.
Here are some excerpts from Sitepoint and here is the link to the book - Principles of Beautiful Websites
Tired of making web sites that work absolutely perfectly but just don’t, well, look very nice? Using The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, you’ll see just how easy it can be to create aesthetically pleasing and usable web site designs
This book will show you how to:
- Create amazing designs from scratch
- Understand why some designs “work”
- Unleash your creative talents
- Master the design fundamentals: layout, color, texture, typography and imagery
- Uncover the trade secrets the great designers keep to themselves
- …and much more. Far too many things




Sounds very interesting! I’m using a blogger account, so I don’t know exactly how much control over it I have, but I’ve been wanting to improve it. I will have to look into this - thanks for pointing it out!
I have purchased almost all sitepoint books few months back (almost 500$). Received it last week only as a huge parcel. This is one is well included in the parcel as well
I brought them much for reference as i am already good on all the topics (Except ruby on rails)
