Custom Web Books specializes in the electronic publishing of books in html—ebooks or eDocs. Similar to Wikipedia, books published in html websites allow access to your book worldwide. Your web book will be designed so visitors are able to locate information quickly; future updates are easy; and your book will be promoted in search engines.

Our web books are developed using a custom comprehensive approach that goes well beyond design and technology and include

• Content strategy (prioritizing content)
• Intuitive navigation
• Information architecture (information design)
• Usability (user-friendly)
• Variety of methods to search or browse for information
• Search engine information
• Format of content for the way visitors read on the web
• Accessibility for people with disabilities (required by law)

We build web book sites for research, education, government, textbooks, monographs, manuals, archives, regulations, non-fiction, fiction—any content site.

Web books formatted in html websites are very different than other electronic publishing, e.g. PDF ebooks which are typically more suitable for printing. View a sample web book or a comparison between web books and other forms of electronic publishing.
