The most accurate overview of the state of the art in web design.

Since its first edition in the year 2000, the annual Web Design Index has developed into one of the most important publications in its field. Year after year, it gives an accurate overview of the state of the art in web design. Every Web Design Index contains 1002 outstanding web pages. With each web page, the URL is indicated, as well as the names of those involved in the design and programming. Selection for the Web Design Index is based on design quality, innovation, and effectiveness, and the books offer examples of all conceivable forms and styles.

The use of animation and movies to enliven websites continues to be a trend in web design. This has also lead to a change in how we bring you the Web Design Index. The enclosed CD-ROM now contains more than just images of the featured web pages. Sites containing movies and animated features have been captured to ensure that the CD is as true to the programmers’s design as possible. This book and CD will be a functional archive long after the sites themselves go offline.
