This title in other formats:Dont Make Me Think a Common Sense Ap 1ST Editionby Steve Krug
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design.
Three New Chapters!
"I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book.
In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." — Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards
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.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Provides answers to questions about the right way to design web sites by focusing on usability issues. This handbook presents principles that should be kept in mind when evaluating site usability and are based on user research. Synopsis: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. About the AuthorSteve Krug is a usability consultant who has more than 15 years of experience as a user advocate for companies like Apple, Netscape, AOL, Lexus, and others. Based in part on the success of the first edition of Don’t Make Me Think, he has become a highly sought-after speaker on usability design.
