Creating a Web page sounds like tough stuff, doesn't it? I mean, have you ever seen the code that comprises a Web page? It looks as though someone took a bunch of letters, numbers, and symbols, put them through some kind of linguistic blender, and then poured the result onto the Web. It's ugly, it's messy, and it's downright intimidating. But it's also one more thing:

It's easy.

Yes, you read that right: Creating Web pages is really quite easy. Actually, let me qualify that: Creating Web pages is easy if you approach it in the right way. What's the right way? Starting at the very beginning with the most basic structure of a page, and then slowly working step-by-step through the rest of it, tacking on bits and pieces as you go along. This way you slowly build your HTML knowledge until, before you know it, you have your very own Web page for all to see.

The good news is that this step-by-step, piece-by-piece method is exactly the approach I use in this book. To that end, this book doesn’t assume you have any previous experience with Web page production. All the information is presented in short, easy-to-digest chunks that make building a page fun and easy on the brain
