Being Steve's friend, I am being a little biased, but this book has genuinely helped me polish up my web development skills and running other ventures online. It had not only reinstated some of the best ways to catalyze your online presence, but it had also taught me a lot of things I will forever be thankful for. This book was also fun to read as it was engaging and practical. Thank you again Steve and keep it up! Steve, congratulations once again on hitting many of your milestones thus far, your story alone does not make you an incredible person but everything you have achieved. Finally, congratulations on being top on Product Hunt :)

@stevewoody82 has nailed it with his new book "Plan Your Website". It should be "required reading" before anyone is allowed to inflict the internet with another web site. There are so many unplanned websites wandering aimlessly about in the ether - with no where to go because there was no plan in place before they were constructed. You wouldn't build a house without a plan - you shouldn't waste your time and money building a website without a plan.
@dougwatt I think you just won the internet today with your comment. Well you did in my eyes. Thank you for the awesome feedback. Would love to feature this if you don't mind.

Being a Full Stack WordPress developer I have helped build a good number of websites for more than a decade. I like good clients, hell everyone does! What makes you a good client? That’s what this book is about.
Steve’s book teaches a small business client that developers/designers are like microwaves; you follow the recipe, you take necessary precautions, and you end up cooking a good meal(website). Or you put in the wrong elements(metal), and you blow everything up. It’s not about the perfect implementation, it’s the wrong specification which makes it worthless.
If you care about WHAT NOT TO DO™ when creating a website, I’d recommend you to read this book.

Not only a great product, but with the book you also get access to a super useful online course walking you through your website strategy, design, content, testing and more. A helpful utility for those already versed in web design, and an invaluable reference for anyone learning the ropes. Great stuff.
@dazzlr Thank you Darren. It was originally going to just be the free PDF Workbook to accompany the book Plan Your Website but after I started recording the video's I couldn't stop and the online workbook has been the best thing I could have ever created. I personally prefer it to my online course Build Your Website because of the magic I see happening in the strategy phase. The book helps people but the workbook is where the real magic happens and it's a privilege to watch peoples transformations.
I'm biased because I wrote it but the reason was to help the hundreds of business owners that were coming to me asking for help after they had paid for a website that was not doing what they wanted. I've seen so many people suffer because they didn't know the right questions to ask before they had a website built so I wrote this book in the hope it can save just one person from making the same mistakes that I have seen over and over again. Please consider sharing this if you know someone who needs a website or has one that is not serving them as well as it should.
