Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design. Three New Chapters! - Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites
- Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible
- Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims
"I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book. In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards Usabilty and talked about by synapse communications | Customer Rating: | Until very recently, the subject of `usability' remained arguably as one of the `most' talked-after and yet `least' understood topic in the field of web designing.
Till Steve Krug came with his book `Don't Make Me Think'. He made it clear from the title of a book that essays on the importance of offering a web user with the opportunity of easy navigation. And he shows us the way to negate every chance where subjugating a visitor to ponder on the points of `what' and `how' is no less than a crime in the world of web.
We at Synapse Communications know how plentifully the book has helped us in the times of need. If today we are amongst one of the leading Indian companies in the arena of we development, books like this, wonderfully serve as the guiding force ahead of each of our steps towards delivering efficient web development solution to our clients world-wide.
I am thankful to Mr. Shamit Khemka, the CEO of Synapse Communications, for introducing me to a book that is so excellently simple and yet explicit in elaborating the subject of web usability.
Be it Synapse Interactive or Synapse India - the two sister concerns of Synapse Communication; for all the individuals associated with the company, `Don't Make Me Think' helps us to think right and put all the essentials into practice.
| This book I consider "best in class" on subject of usability design | Customer Rating: | | Simply put, this book is as entertaining as it is easy to read. It delivers highly useful, critical information about web design best practices, calling attention to the fact that great design keeps its user in mind at all times. The principles he outlines are well-articulated, as he continuously reminds designers that well thought-out functionality and intuitive navigation ultimately is, the basis of the best site designs. | HUGE waste of time and money | Customer Rating: | | If you have been on the internet several times over the past few years, you do not need to read this book. The content is very basic and examples are outdated. You can spend $3K for a website and you will still have a much superior website than the examples in this book. I recommend browsing the web for the websites of topbrands and also cool new start ups. The book is pretty, but is a total waste of time even though it takes only a few hrs at most to finish it. | Don't Make Me Think | Customer Rating: | | Don't Make Me Think is easy to read, but loaded with practical information about website design - organization, display, navigation, user-testing, etc. High quality, full-color illustrations, too. Well done. Thanks for the extra efforts in writing and publishing. | Great Book Delivered Quickly in Perfect Condition | Customer Rating: | | Nice book with obvious but often overlooked or forgotten details about how to design nice web pages and sites that make sense and are easy to navigate and understand. |
