This book doesn't zoom you right into coding HTML--though it covers the markup language quite well. Instead, it offers a much higher level look at site design by examining the general questions of navigation principles, affiliates possibilities, building communications with your users, and other wide-ranging topics. For this reason, the book covers a lot of ground and offers a broad perspective on site design that transcends simple page coding.

A couple of the more useful sections on Web site tools and e-commerce cover useful utilities like NetMechanic, Statbot and Spinwave. The chapter on e-commerce helps you get to know the ropes of selling stuff online and points you to online malls, fulfilment services, and currency converters.

The companion CD-ROM contains evaluation versions of useful tools like Paint Shop Pro, HomeSite 4.5, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Statbot. You won't find all the knowledge you seek to become a Web site guru in this book, but you will gain perspective and learn tons of useful tips and tricks. --Stephen W.
