Synopsis
Learn the fundamentals of modern web design, rather than relying on CMS programs, such as WordPress or Joomla!. You will be introduced to the essentials of good design and how to optimize for search engines. You will discover how to register a domain name and migrate a website to a remote host. Because you will have built the web pages yourself, you will know exactly how HTML and CSS work. You have will complete control over your websites and their maintenance.
Practical Website Design for Absolute Beginners centers around introducing small amounts of new code in short practical chapters and provides many website templates that can be easily adapted for your own websites. Each chapter builds on the templates created in the previous chapter. You are provided with a practical project to complete in most chapters, and taught to produce practical web pages right from the start.
In the first chapter you will install and configure a free text editor, then you will produce the structure for your first web page. You will then gradually learn to create more sophisticated and increasingly practical web pages and websites.
In this book you will be encouraged by means of a series of achievable goals, and you will be rewarded by the knowledge that you are learning something valuable and really worthwhile. You will not have to plow through daunting chapters of disembodied code theory because the code is described and explained in context within each project. Because each project is fully illustrated, you will see clearly what you are expected to achieve as you create each web page.

About the Author
Adrian resigned as a chartered design engineer and has been teaching in one form or another since 1982. He introduced computers into his work place in 1989 and taught the staff how to use them. In his present location, Colyton, Devon, UK, he has designed and produced websites for UK businesses and charities. He served as a computer technician to about 100 locals. He stopped visiting and teaching IT five years ago so that he could concentrate on his favorite occupation, designing websites. To avoid disappointing his former clients, he launched his free computer help website, Coly Computer Help. He also writes a monthly computer help page in a local magazine.
Adrian has produced and maintained websites for 15 years through his website-design business, AM Web Design.
Adrian produces an on-line course for students who wish to learn how to design their own websites from scratch. The work sheets from that course and the helpful feedback from the students form the basis of this book.
