5.0 out of 5 stars Please reprint this book, January 2, 2000

By	John M. Linck "john the toymaker - www.wooden... (Madison Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the book I loan only to very responsible friends. After dozens of html and web site development books this is the best, with good real world advice. Just because you can add those flashing icons to your site doesn't mean you should. Selling on the web is more than html.Thanks Hamptons

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the beginning professional designer., May 21, 1998

By A Customer

This book has a lot. If you need a one-stop source of information, this is the one. I use it constantly developing sites for my customers. Although it serves as a site planning and design guide, it has an excellent quick-reference section and HTML concepts are boiled down as well as any 'Teach Yourself' book I've read.

If you are interested in providing freelance web design skills (including graphics) or starting your own firm, this book will serve you well as a launching pad to a new professional career.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Highly Professional Guide and an Excellent Buy, August 2, 2001

By A Customer

Having had little to no experience in web site design and creation this book gives a thorough grounding in all aspects of commercial web site creation. It abounds with resources and ideas. A highly practical "grammar" to dealing with all stages of site creation, from initial concept through to creating a sophisticated web site mechanism which works!!.

A straightforward nononsense approach is adopted throughout. An excellent buy and excellent value for money. Thank you very much to Kim Hampton-et-al and I am looking forward to purchasing the 2nd Edition.
