Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Preface – I have a lot of experience making webpages and sites, but my experience is very dated (I haven’t played with actual web programming in more than a decade). Many things have changed since I was building websites – including the standardization of HTML 5 and the widespread use of CSS.Since I am rebuilding a number of personal webpages – as well as my commercial site – my wife bought me this book to help me catch up on the new technology.Pluses -1) The book does a really good job of giving a decent overview of the new technologies I need to learn. Like most “Dummies” books, it is easy to read and follow the instructions and information.2) The book is aimed at actual web designers and while I am not a professional designer, the tips and tricks laid out in this book are very helpful.3) I am not sure that someone completely new to website construction would get as much out of it as I did – there are a lot of assumptions made by the author about the reader’s grasp of certain web technologies. That said, I think someone new to web design could probably still figure out what is being said.Negatives -1) This book is aimed at someone looking to become a professional web designer. It is NOT a low level book and covers many things that a personal website designer is not likely to need. Given the fairly low price of the book, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it isn’t presented that way in the advertisements for the book.2 (and this is the biggie…) The book is built around using a VERY expensive piece of software – Adobe Creative Suite cs6. This software runs ~$1,000. This makes sense if you are trying to become a professional web designer, but for someone at home just doing a website for themselves, it is WAY out of most people’s price range. You don’t need that software to learn the lessons in the book, but it is heavily slanted for that piece of software. Most of the screenshots are aimed at the Adobe software. I am using a fairly decent piece of software, but I will need to get a book on that particular software to try to do some of the things the book talks about.I found the book helpful, but flawed for anyone NOT getting into professional web design.

⭐I am very disappointed with this book as it is more about how Dream Weaver and Photoshop works than how to actually build the code to start a web site. If you don’t look at ever part of the book you would not know that it requires you to have both of these expensive pieces of software to make this book work. If you have Dream Weaver and Adobe Photo shop then this book will be great for you. I have bought a much better book if you really want to learn the software necessary to build websites. You might try it . It is a For Dummies book as well . It is called : HTML5 and CSS3 for Dummies. That book is truly great.

⭐good book, very helpful and broken down. It is set up to be used as a reference manual and not a walkthrough to making websites.

⭐This book was to technical. I’m a real dummy as the book title suggests. If one has some experience with the nomenclature then it would be a great technical book for techies. This book is clearly not for the Dummy. It was way over my head. This author really knows his stuff.

⭐Too much and very detailed info for a novice. Now it is much easier to build one with Wix or Go Daddy. I couldn’t give it away.

⭐This book helped lead me in the right direction on how I could get a website put together and up and running based on my knowledge of the subject. It’s a combo book of some of the other ___ for Dummies books.

⭐Oh dear! The two authors were not sure what their goal was. The book falls unhappily between two separate and very different markets. Much of the language and terms used are aimed specifically at the professional website builders – and they are probably not “dummies.” In terms of website building I am a true “dummy” (having built only 1 very simple website) and I had enormous difficulty with most of the content and language throughout this volume. I do not expect that in a true “for dummies” book. I cannot imagine this will be any help at all to the real novice who wants to learn how to build a website. It was written at a high level of technical language, has far too few helpful examples, wrongly takes some subject matter for granted, misses some steps in processes, and makes too many false assumptions about the reader’s knowledge and experience. I expect the authors are technical experts. They have demonstrated however that they are certainly not experts in helping others to learn. Complex – confused – unhelpful.

⭐The Dummies series of how to books is an amazing resource for those of us who are not professionals in any number of fields..Whenever I want to do something (and learn to do it well) I head for these books.. and I buy all my books through AmazonThese are invaluable books and not for Dummies at all.. but as a paralegal ~ I am not a web designer and I am not an accountant ~ I am not lots of things. But, if you can read, you can do. Great books. Buy them for what you don’t know but what to do,

⭐Excellent

⭐Easy to use

⭐Only really covers Adobe Dreamweaver, so you’re out of luck if interested in anything else. I won’t use Dreamweaver since it went expensive subscription only.

⭐Great book!

⭐Well worth a read. Easy to follow.
