Charles W. Eliot, one time president at Harvard University, has said "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers."  When it comes to knowing how to develop a web page that is not only going to be attractive to your customer, but functional and resourceful, where are you going to turn.  One of my guesses would be to a book, one that is going to be able to walk you through the steps of developing your web site.  After struggling myself with trying to build a web page, and understand the technical jargon that so many books are written in, I have found a book that I can not only understand, but helps me build the type and quality of web site I am looking for.  How To Activate Your Web Site by Bob Algie and published by ZD Press is The Book to use if your looking for an attractive and effective web site.  179 pages of illustrations and an accompanying compact disk, along with the numbered steps, guides you from the very beginning by installing the software necessary to build a page to very end by uploading your new web page onto the Internet.
   How To Activate Your Web Site uses simple colored pictures of your desktop as it walks you through the basic steps. This book will take you from the "click and drop" part of creating a web page to a realistic and easy introduction into the world of HTML.  If you've been looking for a text to help you with building an impressive yet easy to maintain web presence, this is the one.  So grab your mouse, and open your mind, and the world is just one click away.
