I was trying to name it using "Handbook" like my last book, but "The Web Application Design Handbook" was already taken.

I would love better ideas!

Why not The Web App Design Handbook? It matches your branding...

There is already a book with that exact name :(

"App" or "Application"? I searched for "App" and nothing showed in Google...

"Web design" and "web application design" are virtually the same thing, so I might even drop application from it.

"The Web Design Handbook" "Web Designs Handbook" "The Handbook of Web Design"

Also, you might be able to get away with just giving it a subtitle, which would add context. Maybe include UI, UX, graphic design, usability, etc.

This is specifically about web application design, which I see as being quite different from web design. Many concepts are the same, but web applications require a different style of design.

So mentioning applications or software is important.
