This book gives concrete, simple answers to questions all new web designers have. Basic tutorials, samples, and urls make designing or editing a web page a much less daunting task to those interested in making a basic web page.

[Emily · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a very broad overview of creating a website. However, I still have more questions about it than this book answered.

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

A decent review of much content. Spends a little too much time on Dreamweaver and other proprietary tools, all and all a very usable reference...and not all that dated.
