The Computer Lady has done it again! Phyllis Wheeler has taken a seemingly complex subject, and made it accessible. Internet Commerce (aka e-business or e-commerce) is a vibrant, growing field, but in order to provide goods or services online, a company must have a website! There are many books and programs available to help set up a website, but most are too complicated for computer novices, or too expensive for a start-up venture.
Wheeler’s new e-book, WebSite ABC’s, bridges the gap between the beginner and a first website. Using detailed text instructions, coupled with screen shots, Wheeler walks the reader through the process of learning exactly what is necessary to get online in just hours. She covers simple HTML, how to find and use a free web design program, how to create an information or sales site, how to find affordable hosting, how to tie in a shopping cart, how to make an e-book, and much more.
The greatest strength of WebSite ABC’s is its simplicity. The information presented is adequate, but not overwhelming. Using Wheeler’s information, anyone with internet access can create a simple, income-producing website. The casual tone and “let me show you” warmth of WebSite ABC’s removes the intimidation factor from unfamiliar terms and concepts, and leaves the reader with a “can do” feeling.
Information in the e-book is applicable to both PC and Mac. While Wheeler’s example screenshots show a PC, she includes keystroke instructions for the Mac when necessary. WebSite ABC’s is a remarkably friendly introduction to the world of e-commerce, and is suitable for both high school students and adults. Now there’s no excuse for not setting up a website!
