This is a great book for anyone who wants to build his/her first website. Chapter 2 (Research) is a goldmine - the author reminds the reader that the website should be built for the target audience - who they are, age, gender, likes & dislikes, etc. This is very important because the audience will determine the look and feel of the website. Is the site targeting the youth/young adults? If yes, then it should be 'bold', 'playful' and 'bright'. Is the site targeting the baby boomers? Then the look and feel of the site should be more 'conservative'. The author does a great job in helping the reader think through all these issues before creating the website. (NOTE: This book does not teach you how to create a website (i.e.do-it-yourself, step-by-step methods) but rather, it gives you a solid overview of how a great website should be built.
