Small Websites, Great Results is the perfect book for today because many businesses are beginning to understand the need and wisdom of simplicity. This book shows readers that bigger is not necessarily better and that there is a proven method for building sites that require less resources but produce fantastic results.

The book also features a set of small sites that work for! different types of businesses, including professional services, consultants, artists, entertainers, writers, and speakers, and non-profit enterprises. Readers can use the site templates as they are presented or modify them to suit their own special needs.
Anyone who has put off creating a site for their business because of a lack of resources, or those who have built sites that have quickly gotten out of hand, will really treasure this book.
The goal of this book is to serve as a design/idea book. Our mantra is that simplicity leads to great results.
