About the Authors

Craig Grannell is a writer and designer Originally trained in the fine arts - photo 2Craig Grannell is a writer and designer. Originally trained in the fine arts, the mid-1990s saw Craig immersed in the world of digital media, his creative projects encompassing video, installation-based audio work, and strange live performances-sometimes with the aid of a computer, televisions, videos, and a PA system, and sometimes with a small bag of water above his head. His creative, playful art, which contained a dark, satirical edge, struck a chord with those who saw it, leading to successful appearances at a number of leading European media arts festivals.

Craig soon realized hed actually have to make a proper living, however. Luckily, the Web caught his attention, initially as a means to promote his art via an online portfolio but then as a creative medium in itself, and hes been working with it ever since. He founded tiny studio Snub Communications (www.snubcommunications.com) and has subsequently worked on design and writing projects for a diverse range of clients.

Along with writing the original version of the book youre holding right now (this version ably updated by Victor Sumner and Dionysios Synodinos), Craig has authored Web Designers Reference (friends of ED, 2005) and various books on Dreamweaver. Elsewhere, hes penned numerous articles for Computer Arts, MacFormat, .net, Digital Arts, TechRadar, Tap!, and many other publications besides.

When not designing websites, Craig can usually be found hard at work in his quest for global superstardom by way of his eclectic audio project, the delights of which you can sample at www.projectnoise.co.uk.
