NOT ONLY for youngsters

Although the book is written mainly for youngsters, it is suitable for small independent businesses that can use the book to build a Web site in order to provide information about their business. They shunned the large and detailed books looking for a simple, straightforword way. Since the Web site built using the book is quite generic, they could easily make adjustments to fit their business. (For example, instead of having a list of friends in the instructions, they can insert a list of products they sell).
