Like most of the "dummies" books this one doesn't go into great detail about certain aspects of web design, but it is a great starting point for anyone with zero web design experience.

It walked me through the interface of Dreamweaver easily and within a few hours I had a page up and ready complete with links and flash buttons.

Again not good for the pro but great for the beginner.

I am new to the whole web site building, so this book was for me. It gave me a basic understanding of web publishing, free tools available to create my web pages and how to add links, blogs and graphics to my web site.
This book though, does not go into great detail about web design so if that's what you are looking for, this is not for you.
This is for the beginner who wants to get a feel for the process and what it takes to get a web site up and running.
I found it very helpful in getting me started on the road to creating great web sites.

These dummies books have been pimped out to every known possible thing in the world. its helpful and covers many topics(css, html, xhtml, design, ect.) but if i could go back in time, i wouldn't buy this again. It covers too many topics too briefly. so in the end you get a fat book, but not enough knowledge so then you'll probably have to go back and buy the CSS for dummies, then the HTML for dummies, then web design for dummies. blah blah blah

As a complete newbie to web pages, this book was a tremendous help in understanding the processes involved in creating, publishing and maintaining a website. I'm a Mac user and found the info very helpful. Many books don't adequately deal with Mac systems. This one did.

This is a pretty good book for beginners trying to learn how to create a web page, but it's a little confusing and the CD included with the book does not include any part of either Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web. From the cover,one is led to believe that abbreviated versions of these are included on the CD. Instead, the CD has Nvu and links to other useful places.

I bought this for my husband because he has been talking about learning how to build websites. He says that it is too outdated and every tool he looks up to use that is in the book, he either can not find or it is way too expensive to purchase. He hates it and I feel it was a wasted purchase, I should have went with the current copy.

Book was received on time and was in excellent condition. It is easy to understand for someone who has no experience with creating web pages or HTML.

Great overview of the processes and techniques for creating Web sites. Well written and clear.
