For many types of communication, websites have replaced printed media as the main tool. In other instances, Internet applications have gained an important position next to traditional media. Use of the Internet has reached a stage of maturity, and the same can be said of web design: over the past ten years, it has changed from hesitant and experimental to confident and sophisticated. The increasingly common use of fast-speed Internet allows designers to use larger files, and it has become more common for clients to allocate a budget for professional photography.

          The captions in this book provide information about those involved in the design and programming and are coded as follows:

D		design
C		coding
P		production
A		agency
M		designer's contact address

          A CD-ROM containing all the pages, arranged in the same order as the book, can be found inside the back cover. It allows you to view each page on your computer witha minimum of loading time, and to access the Internet in order to browse the selected pages.
