by Steve Krug (Author) 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
