repost: The "design" part of "web design"

Sent by Susan Stewart on 2 August 2004 19:07


I'm sorry if this has already gone through, but I didn't see it show up 
on the list and my SMTP server has been rather unreliable of late...

========================================================================

Let me preface this by saying that my real strengths in the world of
tech are sysadmin tasks and programming.  My mantra used to be "I make
it work, I don't make it pretty."

So, here I am trying to learn web design.  I had pointedly avoided it
for a long time because what I thought I needed (nested tables, etc) was
messier than my programmer's brain was willing to tolerate.  (I still do
most things from the command line.)

I discovered CSS, and I love it--web design that I can hand-code and be
happy with.  I'm picking up on the technical aspects quickly, but I'm a
little slower at the actual "design" part.  My pages look descent,
everything's where I put it, but it doesn't quite "click" if that makes
any sense...

Does anyone know of a web page or book that can help a programmer learn
to think a little more like a designer when necessary?  I'd appreciate
any links, advice, etc.

Susan
