Very Helpful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Very helpful basic book for a web site builder/beginner to understand about web sites. Too often books/teachers seem to think that the problem is not understanding the how the design program works when the problem is more basic, more conceptual. I look forward now to reading his book on Dreamweaver MX.

This is the first book I've seen that recognizes that there is more to creating a web site than knowing a specific web development program.It explains in easy to understand terms, all of the steps necessary to do your web site...from start to finish.This is the perfect book for an individual or a small business that wants to create their own web site.
Extremely helpful book

I spent hours scouring the shelves for a book likethis, but could never find one-- until now. Build Your Own Web Site offers exactly the kind of step-by-step instruction non-techies need to put together a successful site, start to finish. Most web design books assume too much knowledge on the part of their readers. This one offers practical, easy-to-understand advice on issues such as how to obtain a domain name-- and other topics that can strike fear into the hearts of computer phobes. Wondering whether you need to learn HTML? Or what the heck a web-safe color is, anyway? It's all here in David Karlins' wonderfully straightforward book.
Wonderful Resource for Building A Website!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Build Your Own Website by David Karlins is a wonderful book. If you would like to create your own website, this book provides you with the important information from what is a domain, what you need to know and what services you may need for web hosting. He reviews some software for web design and gives you the pros and cons of the software and examples on how to use them. He covers how to optimize your site for search engines and how to submit your site to search engines. He also provides many tips and URL's that you can go to for additional information and where you can find free scripts to use in your website. David's own website provides useful reference material. I would encourage members of small local organizations who would like to have their own website on a low budget to read this book. As a member of some small non-profit organizations, I have created two websites and am maintaining three websites. You do not have to be a computer professional to do this. I wish that I had this book a couple of years ago because it would have saved me time and effort digging out this information from other sources.
A very well organized book

Build Your Own Web Site has something for everyone. This is an impressive book in that it completely demystifies the process of building a web site from A to Z. There are few books that truly begin at the beginning and discuss a wide variety of web tools; this makes web design accessible to everyone. It also simplifies the process for those who want to spend most of their time focusing on core competencies, rather that fighting through the labyrinth of developing and maintaining a web site. With a minimum of confusion, a novice can navigate the necessary steps required to build and maintain a presence on the web. In addition, independent web contractors will find this a useful guide since different companies often use the various web tools presented in this book and require their contractors to do the same. I was very impressed with the amount of knowledge packed into one volume. It is well written, well organized and very approachable. I will keep this book on the shelf as a personal reference, and I will recommend it to my students.Shelwyn Corrigan, web designer and instructor at the University of San Francisco, College of Arts and Sciences
