I am still making my way through the book but I must say it is the best intro to creating web pages that I have come across. It cuts out all the extraneous literature and gets down to the nitty gritty."

My 14 year old, budding ecommerce-entreprenuer will be using information from your book to publish and market his first ebook. Website ABC's isn't just for novices either! Even though I already have an ecommerce business, I was able to glean valuable information about autoresponders and newsletters saving me $60 a year. Thanks Phyllis!"

This e-book includes far more information than just how to make an information or sales Web site; it also shows how to attract visitors to your site and what to do with them once they get there. For non-techies like me, the way Phyllis walks readers through each step is especially helpful!"

This e-book was EXACTLY what I needed! The many examples and illustrations made it possible for someone even as computer illiterate as I am to understand what to do. It was a thorough treatment of the topic presented in a fun, fresh way. I loved the frequent encouragement of "You can do it!" Although I generally avoid computer-related tasks, after reading this book I could hardly wait to get started on making my own website. Thank you for this great resource! " After finishing her Web site: "If I can make a website, ANYBODY can!!

What a terrific idea; I wish I'd had this book when I was getting started! Phyllis combines an introduction to HTML with instruction in web design software, as well as a look at shopping carts and blogs. Even better, she shows the reader inexpensive tools for these tasks. Any "do-it-yourself" online business owner will appreciate this e-book.

The Computer Lady has done it again! Phyllis Wheeler has taken a seemingly complex subject, and made it accessible. Internet Commerce (aka e-business or e-commerce) is a vibrant, growing field, but in order to provide goods or services online, a company must have a website! There are many books and programs available to help set up a website, but most are too complicated for computer novices, or too expensive for a start-up venture.
"Wheeler’s new e-book, WebSite ABC’s, bridges the gap between the beginner and a first website. Using detailed text instructions, coupled with screen shots, Wheeler walks the reader through the process of learning exactly what is necessary to get online in just hours. She covers simple HTML, how to find and use a free web design program, how to create an information or sales site, how to find affordable hosting, how to tie in a shopping cart, how to make an e-book, and much more.
"The greatest strength of WebSite ABC’s is its simplicity. The information presented is adequate, but not overwhelming. Using Wheeler’s information, anyone with internet access can create a simple, income-producing website. The casual tone and “let me show you” warmth of WebSite ABC’s removes the intimidation factor from unfamiliar terms and concepts, and leaves the reader with a “can do” feeling.
"Information in the e-book is applicable to both PC and Mac. While Wheeler’s example screenshots show a PC, she includes keystroke instructions for the Mac when necessary. WebSite ABC’s is a remarkably friendly introduction to the world of e-commerce. Now there’s no excuse for not setting up a website!"

My daughter was completely amazed at how I went from being a computer dummy to having a Web site up. This book was a Godsend for me. There's just no way I could have been able to put up a Website without this book. I went from total computer illiteracy to running my own Web site within eight weeks, while taking care of six children aged 5 to 15.

I love your book and am already at page 40. As a software engineer, I have been dabbling in website construction since 1994 - I created websites using notepad, HTML, and Javascript. Then I got sidetracked with a job and didn't pursue it. What a dummy! I recently purchased a package in April (and constructed a template Web site)… The search engines, however, only see the Javascript and not the content. So I thought I would try and go it alone and do it the proper way and found Nvu and then you.
