Product Description:

Through the authors’ wisdom,experience, and hundreds of real-world user tests and contemporary Website critiques, you’ll learn about site design, user experience andusability testing, navigation and search capabilities, old guidelinesand prioritizing usability issues, page design and layout, contentdesign, and more!
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
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.
Rating:  - 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.
Rating:  - Lots of words
I've been on Nielsen's mailing list for a couple years now and supported most of what he said, so I bought this book thinking I'd get more good info.There is a lot of information in this book, but I was so dry all I can think was how much "easier" Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition was to read.So, I ended up only skimming through 2/3s of the book.Now, when I start a new project and want to touch up on my usability principles, it is Steve's ...

Rating: - Great book, but a bit US oriented
This is a great book (bible?) when it comes to usability issues. Reading is easy if you're not totaly new to using and coding websites.
The only "downside" to this book is that it is very US website oriented. As web design/usability in the US is way behind Europe and especialy Scandinavia many of the design/GUI examples in the book feels "old school".
If you are into improving usability for websites - buy this book!
Rating: - Phenomenally Useful -- worth its weight in gold
Here it is Feb 2007, and I've had a website for my business since Feb of 2002. For five years I've been asking people to visit my site and give me feedback for how to improve it. What I usually got back was "lots of great information, Dan.""Easy-to-use navigation.""Loved it. Great site."
That wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a REAL critique with REAL suggestions for how to make it better.
When I came across this book it was like an answer to prayer. I devoured ... Read More
