Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:People won't use your web site if they can't find their way around it. Whether you call it usability, ease-of-use, or just good design, companies staking their fortunes and their futures on their Web sites are starting to recognize that it's a bottom-line issue. In Don't Make Me Think, usability expert Steve Krug distills his years of experience and observation into clear, practical--and often amusing--common sense advice for the people in the trenches (the designers, programmers, writers, editors, and Webmasters), the people who tell them what to do (project managers, business planners, and marketing people), and even the people who sign the checks. Krug's clearly explained, easily absorbed principles will help you sleep better at night knowing that all the hard work going into your site is producing something that people will actually want to use. Book News Annotation:Krug, a usability consultant who has worked for companies like Apple
and Netscape, offers sharp observations, a healthy dash of humor, and
straightforward solutions to fundamental Web design problems. He
shows how to design pages for scanning, how to eliminate needless
words, how to design a home page, and how to streamline design for
user navigation. He also reveals why most Web design team arguments
about usability are a waste of time, and tells how to avoid them.
Includes color examples from all types of Web sites on every page.
