Great and comprehensive book for small business!

As a professional web developer, I wish every one of my new customers would read this book BEFORE they begin the web planning process with me.

You get a better feel for what content/text/graphics will help your site become truly functional and useful to your visitors; and you find out how to plan a basic but effectivemarketing plan. Web Savvy is absolutely the place to begin the process!

The author walks you through all of the essential steps to success like why your organization should have a web site and what it should do for you, how to select a reputable and affordable web design firm, what you MUST have prepared B4 you meet with the designer, how to help them to help you get the most out of your web development experience/dollar, how to select a web hosting option that is right for you and how to make your site a success after it is up on the web. We have developed sites for Fortune 100 as well as mom-and-pop organizations over the past 8 years and in most cases, reading this book prior to development could have saved clients substantial time and money by helping them to target exactly what they need to do, how to do it and how to manage their web projects properly.To be sure, this book was not written for programmers.
