4.0 out of 5 stars Basic but Helpful, November 23, 2007

By	Daniel O'Donoghue (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars creating web pages for dummies, April 14, 2008

By	Tina M. Lanciault (Delaware USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 work it takes to get a web site up and running.
I found it very helpful in getting me started on the road to creating a great web site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Dummies book, September 6, 2008

By	J. M. (Arizona) - See all my reviews

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.
