I bet you've spent frustrating weeks and, perhaps, long weary months to say nothing of tons of cash on products by gurus who promised that their's was the absolute beginners' guide to web site building?  Did you then find, and yet again, that the complete how to guide to web site building, or the how to guide for creating your web site seemed ever elusive?

Isn’t your Inbox overloaded with hundreds of newsletter e-mails from each one of those experts? And don’t most of those e-mails supposedly contain top tips and hints about resources but increasingly more persuasive prompts for you to purchase yet another of their products, or those of others whose products they are promoting?  Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

And what about your poor hard-drive? Hundreds of supposedly "complete" how to guides, best website manuals or beginners' guide to web site building in the form of ebooks and audio/flash video tutorials clog up your directories and take up valuable disk space. 

Assuming you have read/watched most or any of those how to guides and website creation manuals, do any of them really demonstrate, step-by-step, click-by-click, how an absolute web beginner should go about building a website from scratch, complete with links from one page to another and from one site to another and incorporating everything that a professional website should have, including an easy to install web form to capture email addresses?  Do they show you exactly how to set up a payment processing feature, create a product image and a product download page?

Sure, most of them will tell you what you need to do, while they laugh all the way to the bank with your money, but do they actually teach or show you, a web beginner, how to do it? If only they did!

I mean, fat lot of help it is for a web beginner to an online business to be told by these gurus:

• That auto-responders save you time and enable you to reach your subscribers without much effort on your part;
  
  
• How "easy" or "great" it is to use Google Adwords and Adsense to make "mega bucks;"
  
  
• The importance of writing "killer sales letters;"
  
  
• Which kind of pop-ins/pop-ups/pop-unders/pop-overs you should use;
  
  
• How free and paid traffic can be driven to your site in droves;
  
  
• How creating an ebook is "a breeze" and promoting them online will get $$$ signs dancing before your eyes "even while you sleep," when you have yet to find the definitive how to guide to creating the first page of your own web site and, worse still, as a web beginner, you don’t even know where and how to start!

I set up Best Website Manual to address the very problems that I experienced two years ago when I, too, was in your shoes.  Having spent a ton of money on what proved to be useless and out-dated material and being sick of the exploitation of the vast majority of so-called "gurus" whose products left a lot to be desired, I made notes about the various essential processes one had to include to build a good site and, more importantly, made a note of all the products, guides and manuals that were first rate for making the building of a web site super-easy.  Those comprehensive notes and reviews form the basis of this site.  So make the most of the information given on the following pages.

Best-Website-Manual (with its Navigation Menu on the left) is so designed as to take you from the very first steps of building you web site to the last step of uploading it to your web server using all the right tools and gadgets to make your dream of running an eCommerce site a reality.

You will also find, listed, the names of Top Internet Marketing Experts (See Menu Item "Experts to Follow") on whom you can safely rely to provide you with the additional assistance needed to advertise, market successfully and profitably your newly-launched website and home-based business on the Internet! 

If you have arrived on this site before purchasing any how to products, then congratulations!  You are about to save yourself a great deal of frustration, headache and money.  Unlike me, you wont have to spend months searching unsuccessfully for a really good, simple-to-follow how to guide that you, a web beginner, may use without having to go from pillar to post for missing elements.

I'm sure you are aware that unless you learn to build your own web site, you will continue to be at the mercy of one webmaster or another and, what is more, continue to spend your hard-earned cash on paying huge fees to these people every time you want the slightest adjustment made to your site.  See "Ready-to-Go Websites" for information on this.

By this time, next week (or sooner), you could have the necessary tips, tools and resources as well as the FREE downloads that come with the best web site building manual, tutorial and how to guide to enable you to start building your first home-based eCommerce website without further hassle and waste of time.

Just check out the results of my research and the information contained in the individual product reviews to save you weeks and months of delay!

• Not only will you be able to see what's essential (and what is not) to building professional web sites of which you can be proud, but you will also be able to avoid the mistakes that I made and so short-circuit the process to achieve your objectives in a week or two, if not sooner!
  
  
• What is more, you won’t have to part with a penny/euro/or dime to me!
  
  
• This is an information and help web site aimed specifically at you or others who are absolute beginners to web site building. Every piece of information you read on this site is totally and absolutely FREE! So make the most of it while access to it remains FREE!  I can't guarantee that this facility will continue in this format indefinitely.
  
  
• What is more, if you gather the information from this site and choose to buy any of the products recommended without using any of the links provided on the relevant pages, that's okay, too!  The whole point of this website is to assist you, a beginners to an online business, to make an informed choice once you have all the facts before you buy any product.
  

As an experienced teacher, I understand only too well how important it is for a beginner/novice, at anything, to be shown exactly how to accomplish a task successfully - from the first step to the last. This website is proof, enough, that I finally managed, thanks to the tools and resources listed, here, to build my own web site and SO CAN YOU!

• These are some of the very same tools, user manuals and software programs that I used (and still use) to create this site and those others which are geared towards marketing my own ebooks. So I speak from recent experience.
  
  
• As an experienced off-line (bricks and mortar) business owner, too, with over 20 years' experience in executive search and also a specialist in helping senior executives to improve their management, presentation and interview skills, none of my ebooks is related to online marketing or website building! So this is not a plug for any of my own products or any "get rich, quick" schemes or products!

Included in the list are tools, products or services about which I have knowledge and, more to the point, you will find essential and extremely helpful. You will also find included, useful alternatives to those products that I strongly recommend. But if you do not find much detail about these alternatives or any links for them on the information pages that follow the Home page, then it is because I have no personal knowledge of the use of them and/or I cannot recommend them for one reason or another.

Where possible, the URLs for relevant sites have been provided for your convenience. So feel free to browse to your heart’s content and make your choice as your skills, circumstances and resources dictate. Since there is much to take in on this site, you may want to bookmark one of the pages on this site so that you may find the site easily, each time you want to return to it for more information.

It does not matter if you want to build a simple website to sell or advertise one product/service or if you want to build a series of mini-sites or mega website portals to grow an online empire. If you are as 'non-techie' as I am, you'll find the easy-to-follow visual method (Flash Video Lessons - Item 5, below) an absolute godsend! You may like to concentrate, therefore, on reading the information given on the pages that relate to item numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and especially 5. See the list and links, below.

If you want the whole works, including how to create/find and market your products like a pro (whether the product is the digital and/or physical kind), and build auto-income producing web sites, then you may need or wish to have a few more of the products suggested.

But remember, you don't have to have everything right away. You can start building a small business web site with the help of Item 5 (click-by-click home study video course) which provides links to numerous free software product downloads, and then add other software programs to your resources when you've made a sale or two.

If, however, you want to create your websites using HTML, then you will certainly find Item 6 extremely helpful (video tutorials).

Here is the full list which also appears on the Menu. With the tools and information given on the following pages you have, at long last, the absolute beginners' guide to web site building on ONE SITE! And if you take the logical steps suggested and use the resources given, here, you will be able to design, build and launch your business website easily and within a few weeks, at most.
