"This book is about mapping web sites, and the role these maps play in analysis, information architecture, and support for the user experience. Through case studies of special projects such as McGraw-Hill's AccessScience and IBM's Kasparov vs. Deep Blue chess match, we are taken through the steps of web site development, showing how mapping serves many purposes in the planning and design process. The examples of site maps from such popular web sites such as Macromedia, CNN, BellSouth, and BBC illustrate the range of visual strategies employed by web designers, as well as a sense of how site maps for large web sites evolve over a period of years." "Mapping web sites is an essential tool for effective presentation in today's digital information world. This book explores and describes the origins, range of techniques, and best current practice of an emerging discipline."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
