Thanks goes out to…

Agneta Grangård for assigning me challenging digital topics to write about at work. Linus Josefsson for opposition about the benefits of responsive web design. Patrik Malmquist who had many valuable observations on the content. Pär Lannerö for input on usability and accessibility. Filip Andersson for clarifying some English grammar, and particularly pronouns, for me when in doubt (and for always being there when needed!).

Robert Lundin for the inspiration to stop being a smartass about RSS, JSONP and other tech knick-knacks and instead write a gospel – The gospel of Mark(us), which was the working title for a long time. Kristian Norling for all writing-assignments over the years, all influences on the use of technology and for being the publisher of this book. Kalle Skogh for answering my probably, to him, stupid questions on how Millennials regard the Web.

All of you who have encouraged me along the long road until completion.

However, of course, mainly thanks to, Anna Johansson. Whom among other things designed the whole thing and had to put up with all woefully confused matters during these years of sometimes writing, and sometimes write angst.

A small selection of what Anna had to put up with:

”How universally understood is the term faux pas?! C’mon! ARE U AWAKE, or asleep?“
”I want the book to be moderately thick, columns to feel uncluttered, neat, and colorful and a premium feel of the paper. Can you do it? “

As said. Thank you!

Web Strategy for Everyone

This book focuses on the necessary skills of developing and taking care of websites. What you need to know to work strategically with your website. The introduction reflects the Web’s history and how it connects to the Web we see today.

Next to last topic on how to optimize the performance of a website and last but certainly not least, the do-it-yourself section where you can test a variety of quality factors of your site based on usability, search engine optimization, and more.
