Testimonials


[]"I have gone from newbie to site creator in about 4-1/2 hours. (Just the basic website without my copy and not including some of the extras!) The cgi script took me a while because it was such unfamiliar territory at first! I can't believe you stuck with me through all this. I asked so many dumb questions and made so many stupid mistakes.

"There's a reason why I called myself the dumbest man on the planet for this website.

"You are undoubtedly the best tutor I have ever had. Your answers to my questions were so clear and simple it made it so easy! And you are incredibly patient!"

"I downloaded and have been using your e-book on Dreamweaver to build a site and I have to say it is incredibly useful. It has saved me weeks of trawling through help files etc.

"The book is clearly written, enjoyable to work with and really cuts through all the complicated levels of this complex programme to help you focus on just what is important to you, i.e. getting on with building your site with the minimum of delay. Highly recommended."

"For the record, I have been trying to find an answer to my Dreamweaver website problem for months. Dreamweaver could not help, their tech support folks did not have a clue. Various website gurus were also at a loss as to the solution. Help for Web Design dot com was able to solve the issue immediately. Very impressed and grateful. Our website is now working perfectly and I will be using the 'How to' book and support services again.

"Thanks for a great product !"

"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!"
- Richard Rinker
Aurora, CO

Congratulations! You've made an excellent first decision: Dreamweaver is recognized by designers and 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 once someone shows 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 Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Studio there's an "overview" book you can buy for $15 extra dollars, 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 even know what you need to ask??

Available books - Dreamweaver help

There are some great books on Dreamweaver. For example, Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed is a wonderful book - all 1032 pages and 3.4 lbs. of it, for $49.99. 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 1003 - requires you to have learned several other techniques hidden in the previous 1002 pages!

If you're planning a second career as a website designer - I recommend you buy Dreamweaver 8 Unleashed, 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 much.)

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 offering Dreamweaver help

If you ENJOY doing tutorials (personally, I would rather visit the dentist!), you can buy Dreamweaver training. The best place to go for Dreamweaver training is Adobe (formerly Macromedia) - especially if you have purchased the Studio of products (Dreamweaver 8, Fireworks 8, Flash 8 Professional, Contribute 3, and Flash Paper).

For $99, you'll get 12 months' access to the Basic Library of courses - beginner tutorials for a broad range of Adobe products. Or, for roughly $1,195 (PLUS transportation, food and lodging) you might be able to find three days of beginning Dreamweaver training someplace close by.

Which brings you back to the same problem: How many hours will you spend learning the program instead of BUILDING YOUR WEBSITE?

A visitor recently sent me a link for a subscription service, which advocates building your site with Fireworks, then exporting it into Dreamweaver. Sorry, folks, but this makes as much sense as baking an angel food cake in a muffin pan - sure, the taste is there, and once you assemble all the muffins and put frosting on them, who's going to know...? The search engines will choke before they accept something so bulky. But, if you'd like to use a button-making software to build a website, I guess it's up to you. The cost? $69 per year. Those are some high-priced muffins.

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](http://www.hrfinc.biz/), designs websites and web pages for clients, such as [RaiseYourPrices.com](http://RaiseYourPrices.com), [Music Row Connection,](http://www.musicrowconnection.com) [The Newsletter Group,](http://www.newslettergroup.com) [Pricing Strategy Associates,](http://PricingStrategyAssoc.com) [World Villa Review,](http://www.hrfinc.biz/design_portfolio2.htm) [Tao Of Pricing](http://TaoOfPricing.com), and most recently [Pricing Strategy Resources](http://pricingstrategyresources.com). We also advise clients about web optimization, search engine strategies, and how to design a site that will rank higher in keyword searches. Search "pricing psychology" (without the quotes) on Google, to see the results of optimizing for [PricingPsychology.com](http://pricingpsychology.com): out of 7,970,000 results in a recent search (6/8/2006), seven of the first ten returns were either affiliate links for the book (Pricing Psychology Report) or links to the website.

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 completed 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 the Step by Step Websites in 3-6 Hours series. 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.

Dreamweaver help: Step by Step Websites in 3-6 Hours with Dreamweaver 8®, Dreamweaver MX® & Dreamweaver 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!

Because I can't know which version you have (Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver MX or Dreamweaver MX 2004), I created a book for each of them. Yes, this is the third successful book I've written for Dreamweaver. And since there are three books available, feel free to hunt for a bargain buying one of the older versions of the program: You'll still have exactly the right instructions to create your website without frustration. (Read on - I'll tell you how you can get a free 30-day trial version of Dreamweaver 8.)

The book for the Dreamweaver 8 is only 131 pages. (The MX 2004 version is 123 pages, while the MX book is just 113.) Even that "131 pages" makes it sound harder than it is, 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.

[](stepdw8_toc.html)     The net result is you can get a one-page mini-site (with extra "Thank you" and other follow-up pages) created and up on the web in less than 3 hours. We've timed it!

← Here's what you get. (Click the image at left to view the Table of Contents for the Dreamweaver 8 book. Click images below for sample pages.)

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:

Tom Presson, Colorado
Background: Basic computer skills, no experience in website design or Dreamweaver.
Results: When Tom started going through the Dreamweaver MX 2004 book, he decided that the site he made should help promote Step by Step Websites! See Tom's site at [EasyWebsitesNow.com](http://EasyWebsitesNow.com).
Time: 4-1/2 hours [(See testimonial at top left)](#tomtestimonial).

[]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.) ](astrositesf8/index.html)
Time: 2-3/4 hours from start to completion - now she's brainstorming and writing additional copy.

Richard Rinker, Aurora, CO
Background: Knows his way around the internet, likes to download and test out applications, but never tried building a website before.
Results: Created a one-page ecommerce website for selling "how-to" manuals.
Time: 3-1/2 hours from start to completion - which includes setting up "buy now" payment links.

Special bonus gifts!

Anyone planning their own website deserves some special bonus gifts - and you are entitled to 4 of them!

#1- 3 different versions of Step by Step Websites

You're covered for whichever Dreamweaver version you can get the best deal on, from MX to Dreamweaver 8! You can download the Dreamweaver MX® manual, the Dreamweaver MX 2004® manual, or the Dreamweaver 8® manual - or all three!

#2- 11 GREAT add-ons for websites

There are some wonderful add-ons that [](11_great_add-ons_contents.html)can greatly increase the value of your website.

#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. So how in the world can you set something like this up? Not to worry - 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!

#4- $25 worth of personal design help... FREE!

I know you can use my books to design your own website without any outside help. After all, I've tested it! But... I also know you may have some doubts about it. What if you run into something you just can't figure out?

Or... what if there's some kind of special feature you'd like to add to your website? Something that might not be covered in the books?

For that reason, I am agreeing to personally help you with your specific questions - 30 minutes worth - for zero cost to you.
