Website Design Lectures

The lectures notes, from Michigan Tech University are primarily from the text book, User Centered Website 

Development by McCracken and Wolf. The text book is a good introduction to website design and user interface design 

in general. These notes will give you a good grounding in web site design, and are a refresher for those already familiar 

with the topics and concepts.
