Editorial Reviews:
Whether you’re in the preliminary stages of planning a site or you’re looking to improve the look of an existing site, this reference book covers it all. Now updated with the latest site tools, design techniques, and commerce options, this new edition of the bestseller offers a solid framework for building a Web site from scratch. Packed with all the essentials to help make your site the best it can be, this resource goes beyond just basic design and page building to show you how to incorporate both of those elements into a successful site.

Veteran author David Crowder spills the secrets to planning and creating an effective site from the ground up. You’ll decipher ways to transform a bunch of seemingly random web pages into a coherent web site and you’ll discover myriad ways to make your site look and sound amazing.

This updated third edition features content on designing with CSS, using the latest version of Dreamweaver, and applying Web analytics and promotion techniques. In addition, the book covers topics such as:

  • Keeping a site fresh and exciting
  • Designing a look that appeals to your intended audience
  • Determining your Web page structure
  • Incorporating color, images, graphics, music, and video
  • Merging CSS and HTML
  • Planning usable navigation
  • Providing guestbooks and message boards
  • Designing for e-commerce
  • Getting set up with PayPal, Google Checkout, E-cash, etc.

The accompanying CD-ROM provides trial versions of software that is used in the book as well as sample templates and graphics for Web building. Once you start referring to Building a Web Site For Dummies, 3rd Edition, you’ll wonder how you ever existed without this invaluable information!

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Summary: From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Comment: "Building a Website for Dummies" (2007 edition) by David Crowder takes a higher-level approach. While he talks about the coding basics, it's more just examples t show you instead of a nuts and blots approach. Part one, 'Planning and Designing Your Web Site', leads you to making a plan. It helps you to find an underlying theme and what you want to accomplish. Part two, 'Building Your Site', shows the HTML with enough examples so you know what it is when you look at it. Chapter four is working with Dreamweaver, a program creates the coding for web pages. A Demo copy is included in the accompanying CD. Part two finishes with a chapter on CSS. Part three is about adding multimedia, Part four is Blogs and content providers, Part five is 'Raking in the Bucks'. That's a primer on INTERNET commerce - well worth reading. Part six is about publishing and publicizing your site and part seven is where to get additional help.

It comes with a CD packed with good programs, examples, Javascript applets and graphics. It's more for those who want their web page/blog to do something and need to know how to use the INTERNET for their benefit.

My recommendation? Start with "Building a Website for Dummies" and then move to "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Web & Blog".

Summary: SUPER WHACK AND OUTDATED
Comment: This book was so not worth anything. The information in it was so archaic that it really doesn't serve much purpose. It barely mentions anything about CSS and Flash. The only animation/multimedia elements it mentions are animated GIFs....COME ON! Who uses those anymore?! The read was really dry. I couldn't even finish it. I promptly returned it back to the library. I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T BUY IT. WOW

Summary: Building a Web Site
Comment: 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.

Summary: At Least The Title Is Right
Comment: 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.

Summary: Will not teach you how to build a website.
Comment: 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.
