Although I have yet to read it, the book promises to be all it was reported to be by the reviewer in our local webmaster's group here in Fort Worth, TX.

I found that I needed another book before I could really get the most out of your book. I have bought "Build your own web site the right way" and I am going through that first. I think then your book will make much more sense to me. But I think I am really going to need your book too. If you send me another chance to review it in a couple of months I will be in a better position to review it.

This book is great. That is something I learned and finally changed my way of designing and coding new web pages without tables from start. Now my next challenge is to change in old web pages for better future changes. I just wish there is a lesson how to migrate step by step from old to new.

Easy to read.
Balance between theory and practical examples just about right.
Got me where I needed to get to quickly (developer with very limited css knowledge).
I know you rate meant to tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you just told them but a bit less repetition would be my personal preference.

I bought this book hoping to get a more detailed insight about practices and web-design techniques in our web 2.0 world and it proved to be all that I hoped for and much more. The book covers a lot of information about handling most common elements of a modern web-site and the use of different layouts and color combinations to achieve an eye and user-friendly layout and design.
Excellent book!

One of really really cool books about designing good websites. Particularly helpful for those who do not have any training in graphic designing and this book provides all details about every aspect of website designing in all respects. Highly recommended.

The documents that are included with the Web Design Business kit are worth 10x the price for the kit alone. By using just /*one */of the letters included (with some very minor adjustments) has paid for the kit 20x over. I'm a client for life!
