DON'T MAKE ME THINK by STEVE KRUG








ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Steve Krug is an information architect as well as user experience professional which is based in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. He is the head of one man consulting firm which is called Advanced Common Sense. He also offers in-house consulting sessions and there he lectures on usability testing and also provides advice to clients on various web usability strategies. He has also published Rocket Surgery Made Easy:The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fiximg Usability Problems in year 2009.


ABOUT THE BOOK:
In this book, Krug explains how to make things easy for visitors to your site by making sure everything on it is obvious at a glance and easy to find and get to. The book provides with clear, attractive, reader-friendly design. It's a quick read. It provides an excellent information for creating websites. This book lays out some clear and obviously effective principles of usability. Krug reminds us that ‘ease of use’ is easily the make or break deal for any website. “It’s a fact: People won’t use your web site if they can’t find their way around it.” Here we get proof again, that user experience is the key to any successful type of website.What I liked:

  • The simple language used to explain normally complex matter;
  • The good humour, examples and metaphors the writer uses to explain things and they really work


The book is short, quick and easy read. It's in full color with helpful diagrams.A lot of what Krug brings up in the first half seems like common sense, but he does goes deeper into some points, which may be helpful for some.The most valuable information I found in Don't Make Me Think was the little quizzes in the middle of the book where readers are presented with sample websites and asked what was wrong or needed improvement. Krug walks through important aspects of those sites in a clear and concise manner.
