This is great book because it is not purely technical. It looks at the business implications of redesigning a website and how it affects SEO, web presence and the target audience. There is a lot to this book when you are faced with redesign or realignment of a website. Several topics are skillfully discussed regarding: platform, HTML5, CSS3, javascipt & jQuery, user experience, photoshop, mobile website, workflow and design. I highly recommend this book to website owners, website designers, project managers and web programmers.
