So many great books are coming out about basic website design. Build a Website for Free
is one of the better ones. I wish I could have found a book like this a few years back when I was trying to build my first website from scratch. It would have saved me a lot of frustration and time. 

Build a Website for Free does a good job of covering the basics is an easy to understand way. By reading this book, anyone could gather together the resources needed to create a website and then get it going live. There’s even a few bells and whistles described that would take the beginner a few steps beyond the average website.

Provided me with some good tips on getting my website started. Would highly recommend.

This covers many of the options out there for building a website, and offers quite a lot of useful tips. A good first book for those who want to build a website for themselves, their club/association, or any other small-scale group.

Although it's a quick read it's surprisingly comprehensive on getting up and running on the web quickly.

Pointed me to a few resources I wasn’t aware of, but generally speaking a book which should be borrowed rather than bought.
