Customer Rating:      Summary: Write this on your forehead (unless you read this book) Comment: Keep it simple stupid.
Write that on your forehead before you even THINK about designing a site (and keep a mirror on your monitor to remind you). This book shows you what you need to build great looking, functional websites.
Read this book and only then can you stop writing on your forehead.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Get the latest version Comment: Great book. Amazon has trouble displaying if a book is the latest version. This in not the latest version.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Web Manager's Tool Comment: This book helped others involvement in the development process understand why the website is being designed/created the way it is. My content providers and vendors now understand the big picture much better, which makes the development and maintenance process easier for everyone. One chapter covers the idea of the way people think and the concept "religious debates," where really no one is absolutely right. This helped me manage the expectations of my content providers and vendors and come to a decision. Ironically a "3rd party source" works sometimes... it's even mentioned in the book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Absolutely the Best book on how to design a website. Comment: A fast and easy read, very straight forward advice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Single Best Volume on UI Design Comment: I have said for many years that "there isn't one programmer who doesn't think he he can't do design, and there isn't one who can." -- Steve Krug comes pretty close to proving that we can learn, though. This book is wonderful; it makes the essence of good design so clear that it seems obvious, seems like you've known it all along.
This book should be read by anyone who has any intention of coming near a software development process. If you're going to be in the room, you need to have read this book. Otherwise, sit outside and stay very quiet.
