(PRWEB) October 7, 2005 -- SitePoint Pty. Ltd. (sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical and easy-to-understand content for Web professionals, today announced the release of "Build Your Own Standards Compliant Website Using Dreamweaver 8," by Rachel Andrew.

The book shows designers how to efficiently develop standards compliant Websites to best practices using the newly-released Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.

"Professional designers need an easy way to develop Websites using CSS to current Web standards," commented SitePoint CEO and Co-founder Mark Harbottle upon the launch. "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."

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.

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."

All code from the book is provided in a downloadable archive. Commented Harbottle, "this book has everything today's designer needs to create standards compliant, accessible, cross-browser compatible Websites with Dreamweaver 8."
