- Good webpage resource
This book has a lot of information for those learning to build websites or desire to improve webpage design. The book is well organized and has lots of examples to illustrate the principles.
Rating: - This book was a very helpful resource in my research
I did my thesis on web usability and this book was a very helpful resource in my research. Why helpful? Because instead of sifting through literally hundreds of published papers, some of the info is readily available in this book. After all, author and usability pioneer wrote most of the papers I deal with.
The book is a follow-up to 1999's Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity (DWU). The simple cover is an indication of what the book is all about-- when it comes to the ... Read More
Rating: - A thorough reefrence on web usability
I found this book to be a rare gem. The author provides concise, factual, practical information on web usability. I found it invaluable in our web projects and I believe you will too.
If you've ever sorted through the many volumes you'll soon discover that most books are written to be sold to you and contain only enough info to make for useful sound bites on the back cover. This book is an exception. It is fantastic. You will learn from this book.
Rating: - Usability is often overlooked
If you don't yet know much about web usability, I would recommend this book (and it's predecessor) to you. If you are already keen on the idea of web usability, then you may want to skip the first book (it is a bit dated), and grab this one as a reference.

- Great resource!
This book validates things I've have known for years and guarantees I have been on the right track. It also allows us as Information Architects to reference areas of workflow that are up for debate daily, such as what users look for on a page, where and how often.
This book is a must for any IA or web designer.
