Book description
In 2000, Jakob Nielsen, the world’s leading expert
on Web usability, published a book that changed how people think
about the Web—Designing Web Usability (New Riders).
Many applauded. A few jeered. But everyone listened. The
best-selling usability guru is back and has revisited his classic
guide, joined forces with Web usability consultant Hoa
Loranger, and created an updated companion book that covers the
essential changes to the Web and usability today. Prioritizing
Web Usability is the guide for anyone who wants to take their
Web site(s) to next level and make usability a priority! Through
the authors’ wisdom, experience, and hundreds of real-world
user tests and contemporary Web site critiques, you’ll learn
about site design, user experience and usability testing,
navigation and search capabilities, old guidelines and prioritizing
usability issues, page design and layout, content design, and
more!
