The authors' own supporting website also offers free software for designing the pages, search engine optimization and uploading the site to a server, all without having to learn HTML.As with all the books in this series, the instructions are clear and comprehensive, and supported by relevant screenshots so that readers can match what they see on their screens to the book. An invaluable guide for beginners wishing to create their own website.

Fantastic book 25 Feb 2009

By Mr. Brett Kinsman

Format:Paperback

A fantastic book, i read it through within a few hours. It is clearly laid out and is in simple to understand language. A must buy for those people out there that want to start up there website from scratch. Note to anyone wanting to set up a business/general website, every little hint or tips that you read really does help.

Surprisingly good 8 Dec 2009

By S. Davidson

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I didn't really know much about building websites, and nor did I care to start the long slog of learning HTML and the rest of it, I just wanted a simple but functional wesbite. I gave this book a try because it was cheap, and to my surprise, does exactly what it says on the cover.

All the necessary software to launch the website is downloadable for free off the internet, and is pretty decent too. The book guides you through building a simple furniture sales website, and then once having learned the basics, you apply similar techniques to a site of your own. There is also a section at the end on hosting and how to upload your pages to the internet, all very straight forward.

I bought this book and read it over a period of a few hours, and, after only modest effort, I had my website running after three days, and it's already had 500 visitors and is listed in Google (I would give the link but I imagine I would be accused of having a cheap shot at advertising!)

If you want a simple website quickly, without all the hassle of HTML and Dreamweaver, then definitely buy this book.

Good in its day 11 Jun 2009

By L. Smith

Format:Paperback

I bought this book because I building a website for work and i was expecting great things. It promised all the tools i needed for free and an easy, step by step guide to doing 'just what it said on the tin'. The problem is that since the book was written all the websites and downlaods you are given to do the job have been updated with no obvious way top get the older version from the same site. Parts that should be veru quick and simple are slowing me down because i have to learn how to use a program with no instruction to read. The book must have been fab when it first came out buit now needs updating, which is a huge shame.
