Website Workbook

A book on how websites work, for non-technical webmasters.

September 2, 2019 MVP ready!

So now I've got the project website online, with a free first chapter and Table of Contents. Yay!

The backend is done in Sinatra, and the book is written in Markdown (although it started as a Open Office project, ugh!)

I plan to release the remaining chapters as I edit & format them, which is an ongoing process in my free time. When that's done, I'll probably go for the freemium model to monetize the book — but a lot depends on the feedback I get!

    I really like the idea and the design and structure of your product page. I also started reading the first chapter and I think it's really nice so far.

    I would add a little more content on the home page though.
    Maybe something like a preface to the book or so.

      Hi and thanks for the feedback! Really glad you're enjoying the book. The front page is a bit minimal, for sure. I've been thinking to maybe add a diagram or something similar. Stay tuned :-)

I was frustrated by how many great websites (content-wise) neglect the principles of UX, Information Architecture, etc, so I decided to write a guide with exercises than non-technical website owners could benefit from.
