About the author
Brian Stephens
5 books5 followersOriginally from the Royal Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, I completed an engineering apprenticeship and then joined the Royal Airforce as a technician.
On leaving the AirForce I then worked in the oil and gas exploration industry as a project manager and engineering technology manager.
Now I live and work in the South of France with my wife, pursuing a few different business interests and trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I still enjoy a technical challenge and write books primarily related to web design and marketing. I also use my web design and marketing skills to help other authors publish their books.

This guide has been written for non-technical people who need a website, or need to brief others to run a website for them. It's an excellent first base and is full of good advice and helpful suggestions.
The writer doesn't assume anything, so it is ideal for anyone who dislikes jargon and tech-talk.
An absolute snip of a bargain as an ebook.
