5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to introduce someone to the basics, February 14, 2009

By	Kim Flournoy (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While this book is geared towards beginners, I'm finding that it's very useful to me when I'm talking with clients who might be confused about the basics of website development. If I'm struggling to explain something clearly, I can just pull this book off the shelf and get some ideas on how to communicate these concepts. The book even talks about search engine optimization and buying ads on Google, which are definitely areas that are of interest to new website owners. I'm going to read through it again and highlight key concepts, so I can find them again when I need them!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Answers You Need...Get This Book, February 6, 2009

By	Dr Pat...Pesonal Realationship Coach (WA USA) - See all my reviews

If you want to sort through all the dense techie speak and get a web site working for you, you must get "I Have a Domain Name, Now What?"

Jean Bedord walks you through step by step the decisions you need to make to ensure your choices fit your needs...and will get your web site working for you...really fast.

Although I have several websites myself...I found new information...lots of ah ha moments of "so that's why it's done that way," and ended up with suggesting this book to many of my coaching clients who have been hesitant to put up a site because they didn't know how to manage the project.

Jean gives you all the tools to manage getting your website up...fast, easy and economically.

This book is a must buy.
