"Building a Web Site for Dummies"
Easy to understand and well presented. Was great help in my quest to develop my own Web Site.

"Excellent purchase"
I am SO glad that I purchased this book. It has fantastic information on all aspects of your website and it comes with a CD full of useful and fantastic trial software. I keep telling everyone around me it's the best money I've spent in a long time. The author covers everything from the design and layout of your pages to graphic design to fun content for your site all the way to making money with your site. Fabulous buy!

"Breadth with little depth"
This is a great book for someone who knows that basics about computers and wants to go a little deeper into all the elements of maintaining a website. It covers style, coding, and business side of things in about equal portions. You can get through this book in a couple hours, so it does not go into depth on anything. The book provides countless ideas of free resources for improving your website. I found some of them very helpful.

I highly recommend this book because it gives you an overview of areas you may not focus on. For depth you'll have to read other books, but this book is perfect for someone who wants an overview of all the elements that go into creating and maintaining a website. It would be great for a techie who wants to learn how business people think about websites and vice-versa. It is certainly not just for "dummies".

"A disaster - save your money"
This is the worst Dummies book I've yet read and am seriously irritated that I didn't spend more time browsing its contents. This book is essentially an amalgamation of shameless promotion with just enough filler between the sponsors to afford this giant pop-up ad the euphemism "book."

The author spends the majority of the book telling you to go elsewhere for tools and content. On hindsight, a great idea! Just save the money you're contemplating wasting on this drivel.

Another major problem is that the website you'll end up with will, in all likelihood, look hopelessly outdated. I'm still searching for a good book on web publishing that isn't technical (I'm not going to learn code!).


"Not the "building web-site guide" you may look for"
If you are that "Dummy" who wants to know how to build a web-site, then this is not the book for you. It tells you hardly how to build, it tells more about links which can help you making your web-site look more cool. You have to have some HTML cq Dreamweaver experience to understand the context of what the writer wants to clarify.
By reading the book and going through the enclosed CD Rom with ty-out software, I soon came to the conclusion that the title of the book is somewhat misleading. See comments above why.

If you are that "Dummy" who has not a single thread of knowledge about building web-sites, then do NOT buy this book.
Not giving it 1 star (but I was close), there are some interesting chapters in this reference giude, but typing what you want to have inside your web-site (links and related web-sites with loads of info what comprises around 50% of the book). you will get the same information from any search engine.

Recommendation: concentrate first on a book, that teaches you the basic HTML-programming language, continue then with either a Dreamweaver/FrontPage manual. You're much better off...

What our customer's say!

"Building a Web Site", No matter what you're doing for pleasure or for business this is the book to have. It is so well written and understandable.
Personally I want to start a stay at home business since I am just becoming a bit more handicapped. However, it will benefit anyone who wants to know more about that computer we all have and want to know more.






















"At Least The Title Is Right", This was my first "for Dummies" book purchase and it will be the last (unfortunately, I also purchased "Building Web Pages for Dummies" at the same time. A How-To book this not....you get no step-by-step instructions, what you do get is a lot of information that is generally available on the internet with a dose of new-age you can do anything you want if you try.........well, at least the title is right..........only a DUMMY would buy this book.

"Will not teach you how to build a website.", You will not learn how to build a website with this book period. Not recommended for buying. Go to BN and read a little and you'll see. You are a dummy if you buy this book.

"Old & Tired Information", This information is so old that it's not of much use. I'm not an expert web site designer, but I found this book practically useless. Better to use iWeb, with their lovely templates and ease of use.

"Very well written ", Building a web site for Dummies, by David A. Crowder ,is a very well written step by step guide that has all you will need to start not only a web site but a successful one. It is easy reading and has plenty of humor to keep you from going to sleep before you actually learn something.

"The only dummy is the person who buys this book", Just read the 7th edition--it only took a couple of hours to go through it. It is a schill for AOL and Geo-Cities. It also pushes Netscape Composer which is probably an out of date web design package. Briefly describes HTML in a very very basic manner. You will not be able to get a web page up with what is published in this book. The book convinced me to get a copy of Frontpage.

"Real dummies: just say NO...", When the "Dummies" series books first came out, they were truly for "dummies". Apparently not so anymore. Right on the cover of this book is the phrase "Go from Web surfer to site developer". Well, web surfer I am, and what I was looking for was a book to give me the ABSOLUTE BASICS about creating a web site. This book assumes that you as the reader, already know how to create a web site!! HELLO!! If I knew how to create a web site, I wouldn't need the book, thanks. Page 2 "Foolish Assumptions": "We figure that you have some kind of experience with creating web pages." WHAT?! I thought this book was going to turn me from a surfer to a developer. Page 27: the first line of chapter 3 reads "This chapter's here just in case you need a refresher on basic web page building before..." CHAPTER 3! Refresher! This book obviously should be titled "Enhancing Your Web Site for Dummies". This book does not even explain to a "Dummy" how to create the file necessary to create a web page. What a waste of twenty bucks.

"Completely outdated!!", I purchased this book in October 2003 and, even though I was a total beginner, I quickly realized that it is completely out of date!! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK TODAY. This book was published in October 2000, and web programming and publishing programs have evolved so much since that there is barely anything relevant in this book anymore. After some further research, I decided that the best way for me to build my website was to learn one of the 'HTML visual editor' programs, and I purchased a recent book on DreamweaverMX which has all I need.

"good book but....", This is a good book for people who have some knowledge on HTML. It also has some good tips for webmasters, especially if your planning on a commercial site. But if you're experienced, then this book has nothing you won't already know. It truly is 'for dummies'.

"OK For general Ideas", If you are looking to code a webpage or site, buy this book along with HTML 4 for the WWW by E. Castro. Castro's book is easy to follow and deals with multi-browser webpage construction. This Dummies book does give you a good feel about the practical things to consider when constructing a website. Not just about creating a page with links and pictures, but about practical navigation construction and how to build websites for a particular audience (ie. websites for your family versus an e-commerce site). Some useful info here, but they should not jump into HTML without creating a good feel for it in this book--try Castro's or HTML for Dummies--becuase this book could have served one better if it stuck with the key ingredients for a decent site, then had a small primer for HTML or recommended good HTML books. For other website design books, try Web Usability by J. Neilsen. This is an ok book that deal with the problems associated with website construction--Web Usability has color pictures and is not dependent on any one design software package.
