Summary: A must read for web site developers and not only
Comment: This is a must read if you have ever been involved in the development of a website. It is simple, easy, and quick to read, yet covers web usability in great detail. You do not need to be a "techie" to read this book (although I strongly urge techies involved in web development to read it). I loved the example of how marketers, designers, and executives view what a website should be as well as the clear examples and illustrations of the book. As a web developer myself I could not recommend a better book on this topic.

Summary: A must for Website developers
Comment: Creating an effective Web site is easy with this book. Krug takes you step by step through the process and helps you avoid all the dumb decisions that make so many Web sites annoying and difficult to navigate. His breezy, friendly style makes this book easy to read, even for graphic designers. (Sorry, I didn't mean that.) Seriously, everyone who designs Web sites needs to read this book. I've brought it to work (I work in a marketing communications and design company) and shared it with my colleagues. They liked it too. If you want to create more effective and successful Web sites, you oughta read this book.

Summary: Impressive and easy to read
Comment: An excellent, non-technical explanation of how to make your Web site more usable. I found myself going Wow! several times in the first few chapters. Some of the information is so logical it seems like basic common sense, yet many major sites fail to follow Krug's simple suggestions.Note that this is not a technical book. It will explain a potential problem, show color Web sites before and after applying his advice, and explain why his approach is better. You can see the results for yourself with his examples. Best of all, he gives a structure for simple web usability that you can apply to any Web site design. It doesn't give you the actual coding instructions to redesign something, but there are lots of books on the technical aspects of web design. Personally, I have someone else who can do that. If you have money on the line... say, your job... based on whether people understand and use your Web site, then you absolutely must read this book. It really opened my eyes to the problems (and solutions) of web usability.
