i have zero web exprerience but wanted a website. my friend was supposed to help but didn't so i got this book and "the adobe golive 5.0 visual quickstart guide" (see my other review). both books enabled me to overcome my fear of the web and get my site done in record time. although i rated both books 5 stars i'd have to say this is the best for the absolute beginner. its very well written and its tone makes the sometimes daunting task of web design fun. if i had to pick one book for a beginner it would be this one. you can see the proof at...if you don't believe me. the site successfully launched today and i owe my thanks to this book. you can actually do quite a lot in golive. if you want a page with just some text and basic links this book will have you up and running in day or two. my site was a bit more involved but only took about a week after finishing the content. this book sells at a great price for all you'll learn. you can even access a website by the authors for tutorials with downloadable images and stuff. believe the title and get it. -lucky bunny

Out of three other books I own for GoLive, this one was the best. If you are a beginner with GoLive, this book is a must have.
A complete beginner loves this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I knew absolutely nothing about designing a web site. For two days I tore my hair out attempting to understand the GoLive manual. The best thing I did was purchase this book. In about 4 hours I was easily designing my own website, adding animation, images, links and text. This book is perfect for the beginner. It's starts simply and builds from there. I can't recommend this highly enough for a beginner who is daunted by the task of learning GoLive and building a decent website.
Detailed step-by-step

GoLive in 24 is very well structured. It is one of the best detailed "24 hour" books I have read. It also has a great support website with resource files. GoLive is not an easy program to "pick-up" and this book really gets you going on the right track. It covers both basic and powerful techniques.

This is very well laid out and easy to understand! Incorporating other great Adobe Software is easy with this program and this book makes understanding the program a snap!
