Web Page Design for Designers

I would like to welcome Suzanne Stephens to Web Page Design for Designers. Suzanne works as a web page designer on the other side of the World from me, on the West Coast of America, yet we communicate on a day to day basis as if we were in the same office.

Suzanne’s list of Web Design Resources is compiled from references posted by readers of several Web design mailing lists. She has kindly made them available to you as part of this site.

Whenever possible, Suzanne has given credit to the mailing list subscribers who provided these resources. While she must use her discretion in deciding which URLs to include, she welcomes your input. If you find a broken link, have been quoted or credited inaccurately, or if you don’t want your name used, please e-mail Suzanne.

Please Note: if you’ve linked directly to Suzanne’s Mega List without having read the preceding pages of Web Design for Designers , you’ve missed some valuable information. Check it out!
