Through the minefield -- I hope! April 21, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Wanting to get on with Version 2 of my B&B website, I was searching for a mentor to help with what works, what doesn't. Not many about, and I didn't want to spend days on a course. Lots of stuff is available about the nuts and bolts of building the site for tekkies, but how about usability - what works, what not to do. All very hard to find until Steve Krug's Book. Fantastic.
I found it very clear and informative and has helped me form a clear view for V2 of my website with confidence; better yet, to be able to have an informed debate with the builder! Highly recommended.

I'm glad this book is expensive because I don't want anyone else to buy it !! It's the best instructive book I've bought; concise, straight forward and "very usable" .....
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right! December 30, 2005

You have designers on one side, and IT tech heads on the other. Each has their own idea of how to build a web site. But, both don't seem to know the key reason of having a business web site - results.This book gives the practical advice that anyone involved in trying to create a successful web site needs that isn't biased. The main advice is to give your users the web site that THEY want. Easy to read, very honest advice.
 Book is not about web application usablity! November 2, 2005
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Author honestly points out that his book is not about web application usablity and recommends "Web Application Design Handbook: Best Practices for Web-Based Software" himself. I ordered that book as well but I'm definitely not sorry about getting this one - it's good information for anyone working with web development.
Every web designer should read this. October 24, 2005

Very easy to read but full of useful advice. Every web site owner and web designer needs to read this book. The recommendations could easily add thousands to your bottom line if you're selling on line.I particularly liked the "fixed" versions of home pages with the description of the "problem areas". All the other points covered were very clearly explained and easy to take on board. Particularly useful sections covering home page design and testing sites for usability. I bought four books about usability recently and this is easily the best.
