Usable web design (engelsk)


Description


This book contains proven methods and design rules for creating websites that are effective and easy to use. It can be used both as a textbook and as a reference guide. True to the usability spirit, Rolf Molich has worked hard to make this first English edition of the book even more usable by: Keeping it reasonably short (less than 200 pages). Cutting the verbiage through extensive use of to-the-point checklists. Describing only methods that work. Focusing on frequently occurring problems, rather than glorified descriptions, so you learn about typical mistakes and how to avoid them. Basing recommendations on non-trivial real-world examples. Addressing the political aspects of usability so you know what to do when someone looks you right in the eye and says, "Cowboy programmers don't need no stinkin' usability". In short: This is one of the rare usable books about usability.
