Product 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!

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 web ... Read More

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.

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.
