This is a terrific guide for anyone interested in starting their own web site. Warner walks the reader through each critical process, explaining clearly the necessary steps to move forward. To get the most out of this book, however, you will need to have the right software to do the steps. You will need to consider how much to invest in the software, and be honest about your commitment and chances of doing it right yourself; otherwise, it may ultimately be better to hire someone out for the job. Nevertheless, if you choose to go at it yourself, there is plenty here to get you started on the right track.

All I read about the author is that she writes with humor and in an easy and understandable manner. Well, I found neither. In fact, when it comes to the Web, Internet, and Dreamweaver, I think that the only way to understand this stuff at this point in the technical continuum is to take classes and SEE what all the jargon is about. I’ve had a Web site since 1995, and right now it’s stuck in 2002. And until my kids get around to “modernizing” it, that’s where it’s going to stay. I have work to do without diddling with this.

I liked all the examples of different characteristics. I find it very helpful in planning what I really want and need in my site’s website. Excellent suggestions.

This was a great resource. I had no experience creating a website and this book walked me through it. My web site is now up and running and I am working on my second site. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting a business website or any website for that matter.

I found the book quite helpful for a novice like me. The templates made it easy to create my website. Keeping the navigation elements consistent was a pain until I learned about templates, and I was able to change the colors and fonts in the templates to make the design more my own. I appreciated the help with editing and creating images in Photoshop Elements, which felt way beyond me but actually wasn’t when I followed the instructions in the book. Also, the author explained some things that many books assumed I already knew, such as how to register a domain name and choose a service provider.
