I am not a techie . . .
But I sometimes find myself having to do techie things, such as making revisions to my Web site, or trying to figure out why the $%@!#$ thing isn't doing what I thought it was supposed to do. And I don't even play one on TV. That is when I reach for this book.

Dave Taylor is a techie, but fortunately for us, he is able to communicate with those of us for whom HTML, CSS and XHTML are not our native languages. The explanations and examples in the book are easy to follow, and the companion Web site provides additional information.

Although the reason I wanted this book was to help with coding issues, it is much more. Creating Cool Web Sites is a one-stop shop with information about building Web pages, adding features such as graphics, audio and video, forms, and more. You even get suggestions on making your site more user-friendly, and attracting search engines and visitors.

There are hundreds of books out there about HTML, CSS, Web design, graphics, Java script, RSS, search engine marketing, etc. If you want one book that will explain all of this to you from start to finish in easy-to-understand language, Creating Cool Web Sites is the one you need.

Excellent Resource to get Your Web Site Up and Running
I went from knowing nothing about creating a website to launching one in one week, using no other references. This is one of the best organized, well-written technical books I have encountered in the last 15 years! The examples in the book and the companion web-site make step by step learning simple and clear. This book is a must-read for anyone getting started on the web. This is a concise, fact and example-packed, logical guide to getting up and running - a keeper for sure!.

Good but perhaps too extensive

The Web that accompanies the book he is excellent. The didactic work is perfect the author is really expert in the subject and the expression is very didactic the examples are very well selected.
Although you dominate to the Web the book can teach of rigorous way many aspecteos to you that we do not know demasido.
It is an excellent tool to consult and to clarify ideas.
