Review :
Without a doubt, the most important book I've read this year on Web design is Web Site Usability: A Designer's Guide. The book is easy to read and full of relevant information.--Bill Skeet Chief Designer, Knight-Ridder New Media Even experienced Web designers should read these usability findings about 11 different site designs. Competitive usability testing is one of the most powerful ways of learning about design and this book will save you hours of lab time.----Dr. Jakob Nielsen, Nielsen Norman Group This report challenges many of my assumptions about Web design, but that's a good thing. We're still babes in the woods, crawling along trying to distinguish the trees from the forest. Any sign posts are helpful, right now.--Mary Deaton, KNOWware "Web Site Usability is great reading for anyone involved in Web publishing." - Currents
