Dreamweaver® made
SO EASY — even your grandmother could design your website!
"I'm starting my own skateboard company, and I needed a way to get my website up and online without paying someone a few thousand dollars. Once the business takes off, I'll hire someone to fine tune my site – but I'm surprised how good it is looking just from what I'm able to do. I hope to go live soon, thanks to Step by Step Websites.
"The instructions are so easy to follow, I've been adding navigation and payment buttons with no problem – even though I've never used Dreamweaver before."
"Using Dreamweaver to build a website was a scary proposition, because I know very little about computers! I use them at my work to fill out forms, and use one at home just for e-mail. That's it!
I was braced for the worst, of course, expecting to spend hours building a website I would never use – but that's not what happened at all!
"Instead, I built the website I wanted to build, and I had FUN doing it! I entered all the basics for my own astrology website, and had the whole thing done in 2 hours and 45 minutes."
"This is a GREAT BOOK!!
"I had been wrestling with an idea for creating a website for quite awhile when I found Step By Step Websites in 3-6 Hours. Now, after only a few short hours, my project is on the path to success. More than that, I had a blast doing it! And... the instructions are easy to understand, and so 'step-by-step' that it was nearly impossible to screw up.
"When I started, I was a bit intimidated by what type of site I should create, what options I should include, and most importantly, how to get my site up and making money. To my surprise and pleasure, though, every step on that road was clear.
"I chose to create a multipage navigational site. I was able to go directly to that chapter without worrying about missing anything important in the previous one, which was a great relief. Before long I came to the chapter dealing with 'pop-up navigation menus.' These have to be the coolest thing on the web these days. I freely admit that I went a little crazy with them, but, hey, they just rock that much.
"I strongly recommend this book to EVERYONE who wants to publish ANYTHING online. But if you want a shining example of this ebook and its potential, check back for NuAuthors (www.newwritersebooks.com), which will soon be up and running and making me money."
"I have to say that your instructions are simple, concise and graphically explanatory. The pictures help immensely – and I didn't have any trouble adding content. Your book is a powerful tool, even in the hands of a novice. Thank you!"

Congratulations! You've made an excellent first decision: Dreamweaver is recognized by designers & small business owners as the best program BY FAR for creating a website. However, it comes with a LOT of bells and whistles you don't need—or want to learn!—to set up your website. (Don't have Dreamweaver? Read on and I'll tell you how to get a free copy for a 30-day trial!)
AND... it's almost impossible to learn by yourself. Until now!
Hi! My name is Harold Fann, and my website design company gets a lot of business from people just like you. People who SHOULD be able to design their own websites — but can't. Because Dreamweaver does a terrible job telling you how to use its program. Even though it's actually pretty easy to use as long as someone tells you how!
Let's look at your possible choices: Dreamweaver's manual
Just one problem with this option—there isn't one! Oh, sure, if you buy the whole MX Suite (4 programs), there's an overall book with a few pages on Dreamweaver. But Dreamweaver expects you to use the online help or tutorials to learn their program.
That's crazy, if you ask me. How can you look up how to do something when you don't know what you need to know?? Available books
There are some great books on Dreamweaver. For example, Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual, is a wonderful book—all 780+ pages of it. Loaded with lots of stuff you don't need—and no way to avoid those things.
That's the problem with most "how-to" books—they assume you want to learn how to do practically EVERYTHING in the program. So you'd have to spend the next 3-4 weeks—FULL TIME—going through almost everything in the book. Because that little technique you must have for your site—that's discussed on page 642—requires you to have learned several other techniques hidden in the previous 641 pages!
If you're planning a second career as a website designer—I recommend you buy Dreamweaver MX: The Missing Manual, or a similar book.
(Unfortunately, since these books are PRINTED, all the graphics in them are black and white—NO COLOR. So you'd better know what you're looking at, because the graphics aren't going to help you.)
If you just want your website up as quickly as possible—so you can get on with trying to make money from it!—then spare yourself the time and aggravation. Classes/training
If you ENJOY doing tutorials (personally, I would rather visit the dentist!), you can buy training. The best place to go for training is Macromedia—especially if you have purchased the Dreamweaver MX suite of products (Dreamweaver MX 2004, Fireworks MX 2004, Flash MX 2004 Professional & Freehand MX 2004).
For $99, you'll get 12 months' access to the Basic Library of courses—beginner tutorials for a broad range of Macromedia's products.
Which brings you back to the same problem: How many hours will you spend learning the program instead of BUILDING YOUR WEBSITE? Why this book makes Dreamweaver so easy
You probably don't know me, so you're wondering whether I can really take a complex program and make it easy for you.
Today my company, HRFinc.biz, designs websites for clients, such as Music Row Connection, World Villa Review, and The Newsletter Group.
Before going out on my own, I spent 20 years at a design company— where I was the key person learning each new software program, and then teaching them to the rest of the staff and providing support to our clients. (These programs include CompuGraphic MCS, A&M, Linotronic; PageMaker, Quark, Photoshop, TrapWise, Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks.)
I've gone through training, spent days reading manuals, and done a ridiculous number of "tutorials," but my goal was always to GET THE JOB DONE. I wasn't into "learning for the sake of learning." The employees I had to teach the programs to didn't care, either—they only cared about learning enough to do their jobs.
Through all of this, I discovered that the best— and EASIEST—way to learn a program was to jump in and do REAL WORK in it:
NOT doing tutorials— where you create something worthless and hope you learned what you need along the way. Not reading manuals— where you struggle with the abstract while trying to picture it in the real world.
If you start with a real job—YOUR WEBSITE, for example—you care very much whether it comes out right. Things you would skip over in a tutorial are suddenly very real when YOUR WEBSITE depends on it. Things that would have you yawning in a book can suddenly be riveting (especially since you can now SKIP STUFF YOU DON'T NEED).
This is the mindset I used in writing Step by Step Websites in 3-6 Hours. It's straight-forward, to-the-point, and no-nonsense. If you only need to use 10 command tools to complete your website, then that's what you'll learn. And… you'll learn them only when you need to use them as you build your site!
If you want to learn some of this extra stuff later—fine. That's when the 11 GREAT add-ons for websites will come in handy. And, at that point, Dreamweaver's reference materials will make sense. Example: A definition of a pixel isn't much help—until you've SEEN 300 pixels wide on your screen and you at least have an idea what they are. The contents of Step by Step Websites in 3-6 Hours with Dreamweaver MX & MX 2004®
To prevent you from wasting precious time, I've edited and edited these books, to get them down to the minimum you need to know to create a professional-looking website—including one which accepts online PAYMENTS!
The book for the MX 2004 version is just 123 pages; the older MX version's book is just 113. Even that makes them sound harder than they are, because MOST of what's on each page are screen shots—so you can see EXACTLY where you go and what you need to do.
Further—these books are carefully designed to let you skip sections which cover something you may not need (accepting payments or complex navigation, for example)—without missing anything you do need.
The net result is you can get a one-page mini-site (with extra "Thank you" and other followup pages) created and up on the web in less than 3 hours. We've timed it!
Tested—by total amateurs!
Now it's all very well for ME to think these instructions are easy enough for your grandparents to follow. But I had to test it with complete amateurs to make sure. I wanted people who could use a computer to get email and who could write letters in Word—but not much else. I figured if these less-than-normally-computer-literate people could follow these guidelines and create their own website—then the book would be even easier for YOU and others who are a little higher on the computer-savvy scale. Here are the results of the tests:
Melissa Echols, Nashville, TN
Background: Uses a computer at work as a word processor and at home to send and receive e-mail, but nothing more.
Results: Created an astrology website with 5 pages and complete navigation. (See Melissa's site in progress.)
Time: 2-3/4 hours from start to completion—now she's brainstorming and writing additional copy.
You can see their reactions to the books, and other testimonials as well, in the blue bar on the left. Special bonus gifts!
Anyone planning their own website deserves some special bonus gifts—and you are entitled to 4 of them!
#1: 2 different versions of Step by Step Websites
You're covered for whichever Dreamweaver MX version you can get the best deal on! You can download the Dreamweaver MX® version, the Dreamweaver MX 2004® version—or both!
#2: 11 GREAT add-ons for websites
There are some wonderful add-ons that can greatly increase the value of your website. And, they're presented in the same clear, easy-to-do style as Step by Step Websites. The image at right shows the Table of Contents for this additional 32-page report. Click the image to see what you get! Click images below to see sample pages.
#3: A MARKETING TEST program
You can add the Scientific Internet Marketing Assistant (SIMA) to your website. This great program lets you reliably test your copy, headlines, offer, price, or anything else you want to test.
Using a different headline on your site could increase your sales by over 100%! So could finding the best price to charge.
But to do reliable testing, you need to do what's called A/B/C split testing. What's that? Just that the first person visiting your site sees your page "A", the second sees page "B", the third sees page "C", then it starts all over again with the fourth visitor seeing page "A", etc., etc. Naturally, you could do this manually (with a lot of grief)—but you don't have to! SIMA does it automatically for you.
Further, SIMA lets you set up the tests, tell it how many results you want before making a decision, then lets you forget about it! SIMA can automatically, at the end of the test, start using ONLY the page that produced the most sales for you!
If you plan to sell from your website, this program is worth $thousands, maybe $hundreds of thousands to you!
