If it’s not sexy, it’s not web design. Maybe.

I’ll admit it. I’m an advocate of corporations and companies that I believe provide the best product and/or service this side of our universal dimension. In this case, I am promoting SitePoint, which also has quite a robust community.

A new book was released recently – Sexy Web Design by Elliot Jay Stocks. Wait a second – this isn’t just another web design book about CSS and XHTML standards compliancy, this is an honest-to-goodness, aesthetically pleasing, design book! Well, shiver me timbers, arr!

Sorry, pardon the pirate talk.

The last design oriented book published by SitePoint was The Principles Of Beautiful Web Design, which got me into SitePoint in the first place, but was more of an appetizer book than a main course. Once I saw this new book, I bought it immediately (with 34% off for my previous patronage, w00t!) and even tossed in the PDF for good measure. After downloading the PDF and flipping through it, I realized that I was looking at one heck of a book, detailing the entire design process from concept to production. How exquisite!

So, buy Sexy Web Design now. I highly recommend it. Not only that, but SitePoint finally employed a protection scheme to protect your purchases – each PDF you buy is encrypted according to your account details. Nifty. While you’re there, buy more books from them, join their community, and read through their articles. Even if you don’t buy books from them right away, if you’re serious about web design or development and spend more time on their website, you’ll be buying from them soon enough.

To think, I bought The Principles Of Beautiful Web Design on a whim from Amazon. Lucky me.
