This book is designed to help you progress through the entire process of creating a site, from registering a domain name, to creating a compelling design, to attracting just the right audience. But you don’t have to read this book from cover to cover, and you certainly don’t have to memorize it. Web Sites Do-It-Yourself For Dummies was written to help you find the answers you need when you need them. Consider this book a quick guide and a reference you can return to. Each part stands alone, giving you easy answers to specific questions and step-by-step instructions for common tasks. If you want to find out how to choose a hosting service, optimize images, or add video to your site, just jump right in and go directly to the section that most interests you. And don’t worry about spilling coffee on the pages if you bring the book to breakfast — I promise it won’t complain!
I designed this book using what I consider the best technologies for someone who wants to create their own, custom Web site. If you picked up this book, I assume that you’re not an advanced programmer and that you don’t want to hire a team of expensive Web consultants. You want to do it yourself.
To help you create the best site you can without your having to invest a million dollars, or a million hours, I based the step-by-step tasks in each chapter on the technologies that I think offer all the features you need yet are relatively easy to figure out with a little guidance. For images, you find instructions for using Photoshop Elements, a popular and competitively priced image program that you can use to create, edit, and optimize images so that they download quickly. If you already have Adobe Photoshop, you can use that program instead; the instructions work for both programs. For the pages of your site, you find step-by-step instructions for Adobe Dreamweaver, as well as a variety of templates you can download for free to go along with this book so you can create a professionally designed Web site quickly. If you want to use other programs or services, you find alternatives in handy sidebars near the relevant step-by-step tasks. For example, if you want to use Microsoft Expression Web instead of Adobe Dreamweaver, no problem, you’ll find templates on the companion Web site that will work with both programs and instructions for using both.
