Design Your Own

DYO Home Page features some of the most inspired home pages on the web today. With a contemporary edge in terms of content, DYO Home Page looks not only at the home page, but the revolutions they've inspired: web logs and independent publishing. The extraordinary book design enhances the tips, tricks and wisdom provided, serving to inspire anyone interested in independent web publishing. All you need to know about your home page toolbox (hardware requirements; helpful software; skills you need; understanding hosting options), building the foundations (choosing the site structure - linear, non-linear or mixed design; creating a site map; adding content) and creating the pages (basic mark-up tips; designing for the screen; using colour, shape and space; adding graphics) is clearly explained, together with how to take it all further and build on this information (web log tools; designing a web log; collaborative web pages).
