Would be a good college textbook, say for Web Design 101.
The author does a good job of outlining several "problems" that should be considered when designing a web site. It assumes a basic understanding of HTML, but that is it. If you are preparing to create your first complete web site, this book will be very helpful. If you are a more accomplished web designer, this book will be a good reminder, at best, of what to do (and not do). The book offers a thorough list of items that are basic to all web sites -- hence the title "Universal Web Design." Among the items covered are making sure all the links work, testing the site on a variety of platforms and browsers, minimizing file sizes for graphics and other goodies, and keeping your audience in mind. The author lists numerous ways (and web sites) for you to use in checking your site. The CD is full of utilities, but I couldnt get mine to work correctly on Windows 95. There are also plenty of visual samples of what works and what doesnt work in designing your web site, which are very nice. However, the vast majority are black and white, which causes some problems when the author refers to the colors in the example. Several times throughout the book she reminds the reader to keep websurfers with visual disabilities in mind as they create pages. At times these constant reminders became annoying.

Shame theres no facility for no stars. I bought a copy of Microsofts Frontpage for Macintosh computers having been led to believe by a PC user that it is an excellent product. I would have returned it to Amazon had I not damaged its manual beyond repair in frustration at trying to make sense of its .. 
Fluffy content aside, Ive *never* seen a book riddled with so many typographical and editorial errors. Worst are the inaccurate URLs and "page to come" spaceholders that were never replaced with the actual page numbers. How did this book get published in this condition?.. 
this easy tutor is great for getting to grips with the all new lotus millenimum edition it teaches you everything that you need to know about the package and how to use it all.
Ive created several web pages over the years, though I have no formal training in this area. Consquently theyre run-of-the-mill... Creative HTML Design, is easy reading, straightforward talk - practical "how tos". I cant wait to employ what Ive read and spruce up the sites!!! The Weinmans book reads.. 
This book is totally outdated with 2-dimentional examples. Maybe nice for a beginner, not for (semi)professionals...
