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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The best book on usability and design Comment: If Strunk & White had written a book on web usability it would have really been ahead of its time and only half as good as this amazing book by Steve Krug.
Insightful, well-written, witty, enjoyable, this is the perfect remedy to the shelves of paper-wasting exercises in ego gratification by self-styled, internationally sought-after design strategists and usability experts.
A marvel of concise, genuinely useful writing.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very nice Comment: All the suggestions are very useful. After reading you go straight to improve you website.
Buy this book, I recommend it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple but down to earth approach Comment: Web usability is something that most of the web designer/developer overlooked. Sometime it seem like a bit overkill but a small user interface flaw in your website could seriously impact your conversion rate. This is a must read book for everyone who venture into online business. Steve Krug clearly explained his approach with some screen shot from some live websites.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Well done, and well said. Comment: I've been a professional web designer since 1992, and my web design skills evolved along with the technology. Before I was a web designer, I developed on-line user interfaces for large corporate computer systems, so I have always been sharply aware of the importance of designing a great user interface for any system. The web is no different - for a web site to be effective, it's not always about the slick, hot, flash-y graphics. Sometimes simple common sense works best.
Steve Krug's "common sense approach" is exactly that, packaged in a very wry and entertaining writing style with excellent visual examples with which he makes his points. There is SO much bad web design out there... let's hope some of those designers get this book, and take the hint!
