Secrets of Successful Web Sites : Project Management on the World Wide Web

Secrets of Successful Web Sites : Project Management on the World Wide Web by David Siegel

This book is by the same David Siegel who wrote the first book above. It covers ground not addressed in his Killer Web Sites book. The book provides you with an overview of what's involved in creating a larger site - ones where there are contractual responsibilities, demanding clients, budgets, and schedules.

A number of sites are used as case studies which, while now quite dated, are enlightening on the processes involved in their creation. The book's strength is that it explains that successfully managing a larger web project requires well developed business skills and not just good intentions.

Here's a tip: If you are a web developer with a client who fails to appreciate the amount of work and skills that go into creating a successful site - buy the client a copy of this book and lock them in a room until they've read it.
