BulletProof Web Design

A book by Dan Cederholm, showing web designers how to inject flexibility into their designs. Bulletproof Web Design contains several guidelines to help prepare compelling designs for worst-case scenarios, increasing user control and readability for varying text sizes and amounts of content.

Published by New Riders in August 2005 followed by a Second Edition published in August 2007, each chapter starts out with an example of an “unbulletproof” concept — an existing site that employs a traditional approach and its associated pitfalls. The book then deconstructs that approach, noting its downsides, then rebuilds it step-by-step using semantic XHTML and CSS.
