Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS 3e: Start Building Websites Like a Pro!

As a blogger who uses Wordpress.org, I am interested in learning more about web design so I can have more control over my website. This book far surpassed my expectations. It's direct, clear and is written at a very accessible level. I am easily able to apply the concepts and ideas addressed in each chapter. Further, the organization of it is excellent. Ian Lloyd makes logical steps in his pathway for teaching how to build your own website. Although I purchased several website design books along with this one, I quickly realized his is the only one a person really needs. Therefore, I would recommend anyone who classifies himself/herself as between beginner and intermediate level with regard to web design purchase this book.

Great looking book will definitely use when I get round to setting up website

Being a plumber wanting to learn about web design, I found this to be fantastic!! It's extremely well set out, with easy step by step instructions I was able to build a website from scratch in only a few days. No previous experience either. This is the first review I've written, very very happy!

Have been to China to teach and as American / English books are expensive there, I gave my interpreter my copy of this book and got myself another when I came home. He loved it and so do I. Great book

Excellent book. All you need to know to get started in web design. Even better if you attend a course in HTML and CSS.

Ok, today I received this book by amazon.co.uk but in the description of the product this book is in colour. The problem is that my book is black & white. It will be good that customers know exactly what they will receive.

I like it though it starts at a very low level - a good beginner book.

I was attending a local web design course and this book helped make sense of it all! Very straight forward and easy to understand. Now use as a constant source of reference when doing anything to do with web design.

After combing through a good number of beginners books on HTML & CSS, this book is certainly the best one. I walked into coding a complete novice, knowing only how to create bare bone pages.After I finished the book, I knew how to create a fully functional and visually delightful website. Ian Lloyd walks the user through the basic nuts and bolts of a website, all the way to an aesthetically pleasing design. In many ways, the author goes beyond the "how-to" approach, by encompassing useful tips and background info, as well as access to webfiles and other helpful resources. The pages are fully laid out with pictures and code mark-up, chapter by chapter, on how to accomplish specific tasks. Even if you're not a beginner, the book serves as an excellent resource with a detailed index and up to date information on HTML5 & CSS3. Go for it.

Ottimo libro per iniziare da zero a comprendere il mondo del web e dell'HTML. L'ho trovato molto semplice, essenziale, pulito nelle spiegazioni, graduale al punto giusto. Lo consiglierei a chiunque volesse iniziare lo studio dell'HTML.

This is a book that I was required to have for a basic web design class. About 1/3 of the way through the class, I realized that the instructor wasn't instructing us at all. He was just regurgitating the book! It's that good. It's clear, concise, easy to understand and if you have an interest in learning HTML & CSS, I highly recommend this book. Pros: Easy to understand Inexpensive Expansive coverage Includes files to download for reference and "checking" yourself Cons: Talks Windows XP, doesn't get into 7 No Chrome info

I find myself recommending this book all the time to aspiring web developers. It's easy to follow and comprehensive. After recommending this to a graphic designer, they went from no knowledge of HTML to being able to build a simple website. It's great for visual learners. Ignore the social media chapters since they are very outdated.

I really learned a lot reading this book and was able to turn around and publish a basic web site using HTML and CSS right away. The book is an easy read and has lots of samples in it so you can easily see how things work with no other references needed. Great to read on an airplane or in bad at night no need to have a computer or other material in order to learn.
