Customer Reviews

Not that suitable for beginners...
As with many books on Dreamweaver, the authors seem to have taken for granted a certain amount of knowledge on the part of the reader. Particularly in the CSS area, I found it very confusing and certain things just weren't explained at all. As someone who is completely new to web design, let alone Dreameaver, I felt that certain terminologies could have been explained better.

Ever thought about colour?
I'm in agreement with the previous review: the assumption that this book makes is that the user will already have experience using Dreamweaver CS3. I too found the explanations laden with terminology I wasn't yet familiar with - some areas were alright, but the book could have benefited from full-colour images.
