Customer Rating:      Summary: Can't recommend highly enough. Comment: Required reading for all of my "startup" clients that want to magically build a website, or web service.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent info and easy to read! Comment: This is a GREAT book for someone who wants to launch a site or currently HAS a site. Krug provides do's and don'ts which seem obvious, but can be overlooked such as always putting the company name in the upper left hand corner of the site. His writing style and examples make this an easy read and he doesn't delve into the technical stuff. A MUST READ for anyone thinking about hiring a web designer.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The "bible" to web usability Comment: This book is a must read when it comes to web usability. It is not very long and an easy read in one afternoon. It covers all major design elements and provides good examples to visualize the issues and solutions for them. That fact makes this book a good read for anybody who is involved in any aspect of a websites operation, Web Developer, Marketing, Sales and Management (from mid level to upper level).
Most of the tips about how to go about things like testing etc. are very practical and can be adapted to any project quickly.
The book does not address in detail conflicts between pure usability and other aspects like search engine optimization, development processes etc.
I recommend to get additional material for those issues.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great book Comment: This is a really helpful book to inspire web designers and developers to treat customers right.
Customer Rating:      Summary: good book on a needed topic Comment: if you want a quick crash course in web usability, this is the book for you. it's an easy read, taking away all of the technical jargon and explaining it, instead, in every day terms. the book is appropriate for everyone from beginners to the advanced usability experts, but beware it is not an indepth how-to manual. full of examples and screen shots of real world, current examples. you can read the whole book in one sitting and never get bored. two thumbs up.
