The Web Design Index has become the industry standard for tracking innovations in web design. The sites featured in this series are selected from those nominated on the webdesignindex.org website, from the portfolios of designers who have recently received web awards and from the work of new designers who have received recognition for innovative design. The selection process focuses not only on visual design but also on functionality and the innovative use of new technologies.

In 2005 we started to publish the annual Web Design Index by Content. These volumes feature some 600 sites, arranged by content (classified by trade, profession, vocation, etcetera), covering all conceivable uses of the Web.

For each site, two pages are reproduced in the book: one opening page and one page representative of the nature of the site. The Web Design Index by Content offers a comprehensive and quickly accessible overview of the standard of web design in any particular field.

Since its first edition in the year 2000, the annual Web Design Index has developed into one of the most important publications in its field. Year after year, it gives an accurate overview of the state of the art in web design.

Selection for the Web Design Index is based on design quality, innovation, and effectiveness, and the books offer examples of all conceivable forms and styles.

The Pepin Press/Agile Rabbit Editions web design indexes are international best-sellers, with about a quarter of a million copies sold worldwide.
