Don’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug - Book Review

Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability is a good starting point for those wanting to build or improve an existing website. Weighing in at 195 pages (Krug claims that someone once read his book in 2 hours), it does a good job of covering website usability basics.

From topics such as “effective site navigation” to “do-it-yourself” site testing, Krug provides solid information. He offers a lot of great suggestions, showing clear examples from live sites to help illustrate his points. The information is so logical you may end up saying, “Why didn’t I think of that before.”

You can find Steve Krug’s book among the usual suspects (be sure to get the second edition) such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Border Books. It’s money well spent. You can also find Steve Krug at Advanced Common Sense.

I encourage you to not only read Don’t Make Me Think, but put it to use. If you follow through, you’ll definitely be helping yourself out.
