Design Patterns: An Evolutionary Step to Managing Complex Sites (Spool) -- "When your organization's web site or intranet has hundreds of contributors, how do you ensure that every page is high quality and extremely usable? Especially, if these contributors have never designed a web page before? This is a problem that many of our clients are facing and they've tried a myriad of solutions, such as centralized approval processes, standardized templates, and style guides, all without success. However, the one solution that really excites us is now gaining a lot of attention -- design patterns." (Comment: The Design of Sites: Patterns, Principles, and Processes for Crafting a Customer-Centered Web Experience)

Good call - 'The Design of Sites' is an excellent book on the subject.

Thanks for the plug for our book! Just some quick news, we're developing one-page versions of the patterns, to make it easier to spread them out over a floor or hang up on a wall. We're also doing some research with patterns, namely a design tool for cross-platform design using patterns and patterns in ubiquitous computing.


Here's our book website if you're interested in more details. Some sample chapters and patterns are available online.
