Reader Reviews
I've always loved Janine Warner's books, because she has made web design easy, fun, and clearly understandable. What I like about this book is that it's designed for people like me - who want to get going NOW - but don't want to learn all of the technical details of Web design. It uses Dreamweaver but it doesn't reiterate everything I learned in Janine's Dreamweaver for Dummies book. Instead, you download templates from the companion web site she kindly supplies (you find the address in the book). From there I was able to get just enough instructions to use Dreamweaver to customize the templates for my own site, changing the design as much or little as I liked. Cool huh? The book also covers how to edit and create images in Photoshop Elements, and includes images for banners and buttons and stuff in the templates, as well as instructions on how to edit those for your own designs. All in all - very useful stuff. It also includes something I never thought I'd use - how to create a Podcast, plus a chapter on blogging. I also love Janine's books because they covers things many web design books don't cover, like how to register a domain name and choose a service provider, as well as how to plan and organize a Web site before you even get started. She even gives a few tips about marketing a site after it's published. Thanks and keep 'em coming, Janine!
