Review:
"While Mike Slocombe's book Max Hits: Building and Promoting Successful Websites may seem like a beginner's guide to web design, there is something here for everyone, even the seasoned professional.

From the basics of HTML to information architecture and search engine registration, this book outlines the fundamentals of good, solid web design - something all too easily forgotten in these days of Flash and fancy interfaces.

With chapters about best practices in graphics use, intuitive navigation, and even marketing and promotion, Max Hits is a useful reference tool for anyone on the industry.

Case studies of sites such as that of Brighton, England-based agency Kerb and interviews with bigwigs such as k10k's Michael Schmidt make Max Hits a pleasure to dip into whenever you have a spare moment or two.

Written by the man behind the UK's legendary and occasionally controversial urban75.com, Max Hits is a useful and inspiring addition to any designer's bookshelf. "
