About this title

Synopsis

Think you need an army of skilled programmers to build a website? Think again. With nothing more than an ordinary PC, some raw ambition, and this book, you’ll learn how to create and maintain a professional-looking, visitor-friendly site. This Missing Manual gives you all the tools, techniques, and expert advice you need.

• Plan your site. Create web pages by learning the basics of HTML and HTML5.
• Control page design with CSS. Format text, images, links, tables, and other elements.
• Attract visitors. Ensure that people can find your site through popular search engines.
• Build a community. Add forums, fresh content, and a feedback form to encourage repeat visits.
• Get smart. Use free tools to identify your site’s strengths and weaknesses.
• Create your own blog. Post your musings with a free blog-hosting service.
• Bring in cash. Host Google ads, sell Amazon’s wares, or push your own products.
• Add pizzazz. Include audio, video, interactive menus, and more.
