First Dreamweaver 8 Book On Shelves

`Professional designers need an easy way to develop Websites using CSS to current Web standards,` commented SitePoint CEO and Co-founder Mark Harbottle. SitePoint Pty. Ltd., has recently announced the release of `Build Your Own Standards Compliant Website Using Dreamweaver 8` by Rachel Andrew. This easy-to-understand Web content provider is offering this book in order to share the best practices available today regarding the use of the new Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. `This book lets designers leverage the power of Dreamweaver 8 as a development tool. But it also shows them how to use the package intelligently to build standards compliant sites, fast.`

A focus on the new Dreamweaver 8 tools, including the unified CSS Panel and new CSS visualization features - cements this title as an indispensable aid to Dreamweaver 8 users. `But no piece of software is perfect,` added Harbottle. `Where quirks arise, the book identifies them and explains successful work-arounds that meet WACG and user objectives.`

Developed to meet the needs of beginning and more advanced designers, the book moves from discussions of Web standards to implementations of XHTML Strict, CSS, and more, in a fully-functional, database driven Website that meets the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Group.
