Customer Rating:      Summary: Clear and concise Comment: A clean clear and concise overview of the do's and don't of web design, with the viewer in mind.
Contains helpful advice for the designer, plus a nifty way of keeping UI testing costs under control.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Must for Marketers, Web Developers and site owners Comment: I would recommend this book to anyone who has anything to do with web development and marketing. Its main focus is on simple thing that makes up 70% of website usability.
You'll learn a little about human interaction with web sites, usability testing and design do's and don'ts. Don't think that you'll become a "Marketing Pro" if you read this book, BUT it will definitely help you create a site that brings results and not just a nice picture.
This was a very easy and a quick read. Bottom line is, read this book to become better at what you do if it is in anyway connected to website development, online marketing, advertising or usability.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A must buy Comment: I recently finished reading this book and I must say it is excellent. Steve Krug has done an excellent job in explaining everything you need to know about web usability. It is very well written and is easy to read. He does a really good job in making it not only very informational, but also fun and to the point. I recommend everyone who is in web development or thinking about designing webpages to buy this book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: SOLID PRINCIPLES Comment: As an instructor of website design, I have decided to include this book as part of our course. It may touch on topics of design that seem 'common sense' but I have found that time and time again, many students of design fail to 'instinctively' build them into their design without first being reminded in a more formal way. Krug has a great writing style that covers a variety of design topics in an amusing and informative way.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't Make Me Think Review Comment: This is one of the best books for understanding usability of website design.
The book is easy to read and gives great examples for practical usability.
Steve Krug hits on the most important items concerning website usability and "skimmability". He is not afraid to point out the problems with some of the common website "standards", like three-click rule.
He reviews sites from a user's perspective who are there for information and not from a designer's perspective.
Absolutely a must-read for everyone who deals with any facet of web design.
