Guide Review - Designing Web Sites that Sell

Design Whys: Designing Web Sites that Sell will teach you just that — how to build a website to sell products. It is not a book geared to teach you HTML or web design in general. It is set up so that you can learn how to build a successful web commerce site. And how do they define success? They same way you do, by making money and selling products. The book goes into every aspect of creating an effective web presence, from information design to presentation to launch and maintenance. The graphics and photos in this book do a lot to explain exactly what the text is saying.
