Chapter 1: My Website Is Better Than Yours!
Well I finally did it. After 9 years of making software and Websites I have put pen to paper and created my first book. The title of this chapter, and of the whole book, is not intended to be nasty, but to call attention to what I see as a glaring fact. The number one reason most Websites are never as good as they could be is that the people making them jump into the process without a solid understanding of HTML, good Web Design principles, and the components of a great Website. This book is intended to highlight this common problem through various examples, and to help show you how to avoid falling victim to it.
Lots of people want to have a Website these days, and if you are reading this book you are probably one of them. Maybe you want a simple personal site where you can share information about your family, pets, hobbies, or whatever else you like. Maybe you are putting together a Website for a club or church you belong to, or maybe you want to start an online business. The fact is, you will have to create the pages that make up your Website. Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, it is not an overnight process. In particular, it's not quite as easy as you may think to create a Website that is attractive, easy to use, and that will keep drawing visitors and customers.
That's where this book comes in. My Websites probably are a lot better than yours, but that's only because I have years of experience and you're just getting started. With some training, this book and a little experience you too can create terrific Websites. My goal in this book is to provide the fundamentals that you need to know to do just that. So, read on!
