Don't Make Me Think! A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug
Publisher: Que
Format: Paperback, 224pp
Pub. Date: October 2000
Even if every Web site could afford a usability expert (which they can't), there just aren't enough of us to go around. So I tried to boil down what I've learned over the years (principles like "Don't make me think" and "Get rid of half thewords on each page, then get rid of half of what's left") into a short, profusely illustrated book-one that even the guy who signs the checks (the one who looks at the site when it's ready to launch and says "I hate green. And there should be more big pictures.") might read.
Exactly how do you deliver great web usability? This book shows you, start to finish! Steve Krug knows his stuff, and this slim volume brings together a career's worth of hands-on wisdom and experience. Discover how users really use the Web nowadays -- it's not how you think. Learn how to design pages for scanning, not reading; how to write for the Web; how to build great navigation; create an outstanding home page; and more. Includes three great chapters on doing your own low-budget usability testing -- and making sense of the results.
