About this item

You need to get a website up, now. It needs to look professional, but you dont have the time to hire and wait for professionals. HTML isnt that hard, right? So why are all the books on it five hundred or more pages long? Can we just do this thing? No-Nonsense HTML and CSS helps people just do it. It cuts through the huge stack of parts to focus tightly on fewer than 50 components you need to build an attractive website. Those key components will help you create the site you need, streamline your work, and build a solid foundation for future development.,



About the Author

Ben Henick

So... what do I do? I build sites, or at least participate in building them. I do markup, CSS, JavaScript/DOM, PHP/SQL, copywriting, documentation, even occasionally art direction, even more occasionally design - in other words, pretty much everything aside from server administration. After fifteen years, you really do wear that many hats, even if a talented specialist can run circles around you in most of your skillsets.My profiles at O'Reilly Media, A List Apart, Opera Software, and digital-web.com are all beacons of brevity. They don't tell you that I'm part of a five-generation legacy in the media trades, that I'm literate in two languages other than English, or even begin to hint that I identify strongly as a native Oregonian.The message that I work hard to put across in all of my writing about Web development is that effective sitebuilding is a question of habits and attention: talent certainly helps, but it helps most if it leads you to a better process and the ability to grasp the "big picture" of a site in a hurry.
