Wow! January 25, 2008
Having just "adopted" two company websites, I've been buying books to help me get to grips with it all. This book answers a number of things and explains exactly what I need to do to impress customers, keep them and get them to buy. Excellent
Excelent Book November 2, 2007
Great book! Very easy and simple to read. One of my first approaches to usability got me to this book. Besides getting the message quite well I thought the reading was very funny.
I definitely recommend it.
Essential reading for anyone involved in website production! September 15, 2007

Since reading the first edition some years ago, I always refer to this book during usability presentations and recommend it to not only designers and developers, but also consultants, project managers and even clients. When the second edition was released in 2006 I purchased a few copies for the office and made it essential reading for everyone!
It's a very easy read and doesn't complicate matters with technical jargon, but instead relates to everyday tasks such as likening finding a product on a website to looking for a chainsaw in a hardware store. It examines the way we use the internet, it highlights that people don't use websites the way the designer intended and that we don't `read' websites, we scan them. It covers popular, common-sense solutions to these issues and uses clear, well-illustrated examples. It also talks about simplifying usability testing so you do enough of it, and uses some real-world examples to demonstrate.
It is an essential purchase for anyone involved in website creation and there are three new chapters in the second edition that help justify a new purchase if you already own the first edition.

Fantastic book full of 'blinding flashes of the obvious'. Perfect for all those in online product management particularly, through to designers, developers and yes CEO's! The sentiments in the book have aged well and it is must read for anyone who has a part in online usability and design.
Yes, I read it while on holiday !?! July 11, 2007

This is a must read for experienced web designers / developers. I read this book while lying beside a swimming pool in Cyprus. It is short and well written enough to be read without feeling like you're studying a technical manual. The real genius is that it all sounds so blindingly obvious you wonder why you haven't thought about it before. This book will change your perspective on the web design process and make you realise your designs are only as good as their usability.
