Book Description
Web design is more than just creating clean code and sharp
graphics. A site that really works fulfills strategic objectives
while meeting users needs. Even the best content and the most
sophisticated technology won't help you balance those goals without
a cohesive, consistent user experience to support it.
The Elements of User Experience cuts through the complexity of
user-centered design for the Web with clear explanations and vivid
illustrations that focus on ideas rather than tools or techniques.
Jesse James Garrett gives readers the big picture of Web user
experience development, from strategy and requirements to
information architecture and visual design. This accessible
introduction helps any Web development team, large or small, to
create a successful user experience.
