This book contains information that was probably more relevant when it was first written. Most is passe by today's standards. The links referenced in the book for the support site, and that for a shopping cart are both dead.

The disorganization of this book is amazing considering that this is a Laura Lemay book. Do not buy this book if you wish to create enterprise solutions. The content of the book is more relevant for the mom-and-pop web site designer. However, what makes this book useful is that it contains a number of useful tips on the design issues and tools for a web page. Many better tools are now available than those mentioned in the book, but that is not Lemay et. al's fault. The design factor becomes important since now we are no longer concerned with learning HTML (the generators take care of that). If you are a mom-and-pop web site creator then you might find this book useful for the many useful tips. Sanjay Bapna http://jewel.morgan.edu/~sbapna/

Gosh! I found this book useful and am amazed at the flames of other readers. I found information here that none of the other (Que, Sams, Wrox, etc.) books had. For example: Mailto, Submit-it. In this it solved some problems for commercial pages I had developed that I could not (repeate could not) find in any other book (or even the news groups). The only reason I graded it down was due to the organization. There I do agree with the other readers. It would seem that this book was rushed out the door to print.

It wasted me 40 dollars to buy this useless piece of trash. Disorganized, never could follow examples ( exceptd you already know the stuff well, but then you don't need this trash). Don't buy!

Lemay's Workshop series is proof positive that garbage sells! Well Lemay's name may sell books, but when you keep pushing bad books you are destined for judgment day and today is judgment day...I will never buy another Lemay book. No one in my family will ever buy another Lemay book. No one I know will ever buy another Lemay book

Laura Lemay's book,Creating a Commercial Web Page is good for starters and corporate business' interested in learning the basics and creating new ideas for web pages. As a beginner the set-up presents simple instructions and helpful tips to continue changing web page from time to time.

Save your money for steroids. This book will make you angry at the fact that people try to pass of such crap for high prices.
