 Not Too Shabby
I found this book to be extremely helpful, the chapters on the 'design' parts of making websites were great. Also the chapters on xhtml and css were very helpful too as the example site you build helps you get a great base knowledge for coding a web page. The only thing i didn't like was that a lot of the examples were done in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Publisher, 2 programs I don't have and would really never build websites in to the extent shown in their examples. However, overall I thought the book was great and would definitely recommend it to those who are just starting out learning web design or also just to get a different perspective on it, because I feel like this book really pulled everything together for me.
 Common Sense and Down To Earth Ideas
This book was bought on a whim. It turns out to be one of the best books on Web Design I've ever read. Mary Millhollon's easy to read style and humor make this book a pleasure to read while learning a lot of details I've never thought about before. It's a down to earth, practical book on what you should consider before, during and after you design a web page. If you have a web page or like me, just starting to design one, this book is invaluable. It's an excellent reference to come back to.
Another superb book for creating websites!
I read Faster, Smarter Web Page Creation by the same authors and loved it, so I was happy to see an updated version come out. Easy Web Design is as good as the previous version, if not better, since it provides much more updated information and new projects. Like the previous version, it uses an easy to understand, friendly voice and gives great advice on how to organize your files, write, design and the addition of the 10+1 tips from professionals in the field was a nice touch. They cover XHTML and CSS which was new to me but one of the reasons I bought it. I highly recommend this book for creating a website and it's great for computer savvy first timers or those who are updating an existing website.
A very good book for creating a website
This is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to build their own website. There are three parts to the book. The first part covers internet and website basics, writing for the web, design and graphic formats. I found the chapter on good writing for the web the most useful. I learned more from this chapter than I think any other computer book I've read! In the second part of the book you build websites in various programs like Word, Publisher and Frontpage. There's a good chapter on XHTML and CSS and some info on Blogs and XML. They go through it fast at times but I found the writing very easy to follow and there's a lot of hints and tips from professionals such as how to take a good photo or create a logo. A lot of extra steps and additional content are also on their website creationguide.com so it was easy to get more info when I wanted it. The third part covers posting your website online, keeping it up to date and adding enhanced features like Javascript. The book is quite thorough and they cover a lot of material but I found it a very good introduction to creating a website.
An interesting tool
I purposely choose to name this book "Easy web design" a tool because it is really a tool with which to work. Mary Millhollon and her companion did a good job. The use of non-complicated terms is appreciated. The division of the book into various parts as the talk (part I); the walk (part II) and the rest(part III)is very important and helpful. The part one presents basic ideas regarding the web. Part two delves into the creation of web sites while part three treats going live, that is, rendering public the created site. Very intesresting is the time care dedicated to the XHTML and the CSS topics. I've gone through the book and I can recommend it for anyone interested in designing web sites even from the scratch. My general consideration of the book is that it worths the pain and the cost. It is true it has not treated every detail, but then no book has ever treated all the details regarding a topic. It is a nice tool on web desingning.
