5.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter, 10 Jul 2007
By Christopher Morgan "Chris" (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this book and was only slighlty hesitant about labelling myself a dummy. The book is infact not just for people with no experience, I have already created my own website before and was looking at a more general book that could tell me the legal and financial aspects of running an e-business, and this book did just that.

The book doesnt offer much in the way of programming for your website and merely gives you ideas on this front and advice on which programming suite to use. The book however I found to be a brilliant source of the 'important' information. It tells you how to get your website registered with a host, sort through the legal stuff such as trademarking, set up a payment system and create a merchant account. Absolutely fantastic. This was for myself just what I needed and having read the book skimming through it in a day I now feel confident that I could put my business online.

This is a cost effective must have for anybody thinking of setting up a business online or doing general research into what it would require to do so, whats more its right up to date and the websites the book refers you to are very useful and often essential for creating your website. Definitely not for dummies as if your smart enough to buy this book you'll be well on your way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good at the time, 6 May 2009
Pure and simply it's a bit out dated to be honest, especially with Google so recently changing the algorithms they use which basically determine your success online.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but not that good, 25 May 2009
Rather basic and jumps around in that it does not really get to grips with the basic technology and fails to deal with the incredible level of competition on the web. Have on the shelf but never finished reading it!
