Great Information for a newbie to find his or her way into the process of selecting a domain name and getting a website up and running

I’m giving his book 5 stars because the writers present clear arguments and lessons in descriptive, understandable language. There are a few awkward phrases, but the majority of the work is great. The section on cPanel is especially helpful for me as I have never used it before, but it came with my new hosting service. The explanations have enough detail, but don’t throw too much info at you. Chapter 8 gave me the revelation that I should highlight my strengths and visually showcase them while building a portfolio. The way Blankenspoor explains how to target potential clients or employers gave me new insight and a motivation to do just that! I didn’t read all of the chapters, but the ones I did read are well worth it.

Great book for those that already the basics of web design. This book explains how to use the basics you already know and use them to get your web site up and running.

It is outdated, alot has changed since 2017... Are you trying to get at issues here? In 2020 whole new aspects of decision making on all chapters should be included. Cheap IS NOT Cheap!
