Description
Every stage in the design of a new web site is an opportunity to meet or miss deadlines and budgetary goals. Every stage is an opportunity
to boost or undercut the site's usability.
This book tells you how to design usable web sites in a systematic process applicable
to almost any business need. You get practical advice on managing the project and incorporating usability principles from the project's
inception. This systematic usability process for web design has been developed by the authors and proven again and again in their own
successful businesses.
A beacon in a sea of web design titles, this book treats web site usability as a preeminent, practical, and
realizable business goal, not a buzzword or abstraction. The book is written for web designers and web project managers seeking a balance
between usability goals and business concerns.
Audience
Web site designers and developers, web site project managers, usability specialists and information architects, user interface designers, and graphic designers.
