Fantastic book
A fantastic book, i read it through within a few hours. It is clearly laid out and is in simple to understand language. A must buy for those people out there that want to start up there website from scratch. Note to anyone wanting to set up a business/general website, every little hint or tips that you read really does help.

This book is Heaven sent
This book has turned me from a website novice into a website builder within 10 days. The step by step, easy to follow guides are second to none when it comes to making the various tasks involved in building a website rather easy.

From not having the slightest clue of what is involved in building a web site to having a site hosted up is down to the way this book is laid out.

Only for Absolute beginner
I've read this book in 2 hours, it didn't bring me any new information (I am not an expert though). It maybe useful as how to plan but not how to build. If you are absolute beginner and planing to build the simplest website then this is the book for it, otherwise save yourself the money.
