Since Don’t Make Me Think was first published in 2000, hundreds of thousands of Web designers and developers have relied on usability guru Steve Krug’s guide to help them understand the principles of intuitive navigation and information design. Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it’s one of the best-loved and most recommended books on the subject. Now Steve returns with fresh perspective to reexamine the principles that made Don’t Make Me Think a classic–with updated examples and a new chapter on mobile usability. And it’s still short, profusely illustrated…and best of all–fun to read. If you’ve read it before, you’ll rediscover what made Don’t Make Me Think so essential to Web designers and developers around the world. If you’ve never read it, you’ll see why so many people have said it should be required reading for anyone working on Web sites. “After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book.” –Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards

Product description

About the Author

Steve Krug (pronounced "kroog") is best known as the author of Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, now in its second edition with over 350,000 copies in print. Ten years later, he finally gathered enough energy to write another one: the usability testing handbook Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems. The books were based on the 20+ years he's spent as a usability consultant for a wide variety of clients like Apple, Bloomberg.com, Lexus.com, NPR, the International Monetary Fund, and many others. His consulting firm, Advanced Common Sense ("just me and a few well-placed mirrors") is based in Chestnut Hill, MA. Steve currently spends most of his time teaching usability workshops, consulting, and watching old episodes of Law and Order.


	A Pratical Guide to Simplicity	Master User Experience and Interaction Design from the Developer’s Perspective	Discover a Design Method that Starts with Content, Not Pixels	Crafting Rich Experiences with Progressive Enhancement	A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability
Title	Simple and Usable Web, Mobile, and Interaction Design, Second Edition.	The Joy of UX.	Designing Connected Content.	Adaptive Web Design.	Don't Make Me Think, Revisited.
Core Concept	Think about design from the user’s perspective; make things feel simple to use.	For modern developers, UX expertise is indispensable. Without outstanding user experience, your software will fail.	Content created just once can be structured and connected to appear all over the place and be reused and remixed.	Understanding progressive enhancement will enable you to visualize experience as a continuum and craft interfaces that are capable of reaching more users while simultaneously costing less money to develop.	Witty, commonsensical, and eminently practical, it’s one of the best-loved and most recommended books on Web design and usability.
What You Will Learn	Simplicity is a discipline that can be learned. This book shows you how–with humor, powerful examples, quotes, and case studies.	"Dave has done an excellent job of explaining what developers need to know about UX, in a complete but compact, easy-to-absorb, and implementable form.” - Steve Krug, Author of 'Don't Make Me Think'.	An end-to-end process for building a structured content framework and how to plan and design interfaces for mobile, desktop, voice, and beyond.	How to build elegant, functional websites that work anywhere, won’t break, are accessible by anyone—on any device—and are designed to work well into the future.	The principles of intuitive navigation and information design.
About the Author(s)	Giles Colborne helped create one of the world's first commercial websites. He is a former President of the UK Usability Professionals' Association and now sits on their Global Advisory Committee.	David S. Platt teaches Programming .NET at Harvard University Extension School and at companies all over the world. He was selected by Microsoft as one of their Software Legends.	Mike Atherton is a content strategist at Facebook and Carrie Hane is the founder of Tanzen, which provides content strategy consulting and training.	Aaron Gustrafson is group manager of the Web Standards Project (WaSP) and serves as an Invited Expert to the World Wide Web Consortium's Open Web Education Alliance (OWEA).	Steve Krug is a highly respected usability consultant who has worked quietly for years for companies like Apple, Netscape, AOL, BarnesandNoble, Excite@Home, and Circle. 'Don't Make Me Think!' is the product of more than 10 years experience as a user advocate.

Classic, updated.

This book has been a classic since the first edition came out. It has been nicely updated and still reads well with relevant lessons for all who have any involvement with Web Usability.

Helpful information, a pleasant and accessible read

27 September 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

A very helpful usability manual that doesn't read like a textbook. I read a lot of technical books, and this has to be among my favorites. As of late 2018 the information is still relevant, in case you're wondering, and I don't see it becoming outdated in the next few years (unfortunately--because if the book did become outdated it would mean someone fixed something big in the usability world).

Steve Krug seems like a really nice guy. As a writer, he is NOT the person who will bludgeon you over the head and call you an idiot for not knowing the thing you're reading his work specifically to learn, an unfortunate habit that afflicts many writers of technology books and articles (I'm looking at you, Joel Spolsky). All of the figures and comics peppered into the book include full transcriptions. Nothing seems lost or out of place in the Kindle version either.

If you ever write user interfaces for anything from the Web to native software to even email newsletters with a lot of buttons and links, you should read this book. If you write the user interface for the Kindle review-writing page, you definitely need to read this book, because I can't scroll up or down within this text input.

Why this is not a bible of web usability (and more like the intro class to Web Usability 101)

18 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

What are you’re expectations for this book when you scan through the description, preview, and reviews on Amazon? A lot of what I read made me think this would be the definitive book or bible on web usability — meaning it would cover all the main components of web usability in depth. It doesn’t. Maybe I misinterpreted that, and my expectations that led to disappointment are unfair. Because what I got out of this is book are some high level principles one can surmise from reading “The Design of Everyday Things” and knowing graphic design and applying them to web.

To Krug’s credit, he’s right that a lot of his advice is so simple that it makes web usability look easy, and that the hard part is coming up with the simple principles. Having read “The Design of Everyday Things”, a basic understanding of graphic design, and spending a few months learning web usability before reading this book, I still had a few moments thinking “why didn’t I think of that? Its so simple!” Specifically about website navigation and organization.

So why is this book a disappointment? Everything I got out of this came from my first 90 minute reading session where he presents his principles. The rest of the book was about running your own usability test (which is basic) and web usability for mobile (where I didn’t see anything outside the realm of common knowledge). This book could easily be broken down into 3 blog posts (one of which I would highly recommend), instead its (currently) a $27 book. A great blog post. Not a bible.

My Favorite Book on Usability

31 August 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Steve Krug's Don’t Make Me Think is one of my favorite books on website usability.

Krug is an esteemed expert and author with a sometimes wicked sense of humor. He also has a down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach to explaining the principles of usability as applied to websites.

Don't Make Me Think is a valuable resource for large organizations, small businesses, and individuals who need guidance for
(1) Launching a new website;
(2) Undergoing a website redesign; or
(3) Making corrections and enhancements for an existing site.

Available in printed or digital editions, Don't Make Me Think is a valuable guide for individuals who are starting small businesses.

All hype mostly fluff

12 August 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Not that informative. Outdated information and hyped up. I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend and mostly the high price point is what is giving the low review. Seems like the author gained some mainstream popularity and wanted to make a few extra bucks so increased the price. The book is short which would be fine if the price wasn't so high. The content seems more for entertainment value rather than actual things you can put into practice as a usability tester. That's not what I bought the book for it just seems the author is more marketing his services to managers who might read the book than actually adding substance. If you are looking for an easy read that skims the surface of a field that there is already not many books on then this might be a good choice. If you are already set on usability testing as a important part of your product development then you can probably skip this one, there is not much in the book that is actually useful.

Makes website usability easy

11 August 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I used the first edition of Steve’s book as a primary tool in mapping and planning my website many years ago. Many clients have remarked since then that the site is simple, clear, and easy to navigate, especially compared to competitors. 🎉

I’ve also recommended the book to quite a few clients over the years—most of whom are leaving a corporate job to start a consulting practice—and they’ve been happy with it.

Now I’m back to read Steve’s refreshes ideas as I begin a much-needed website overhaul. Once again, his easy-to-read advice is helping me sift and sort through what’s most important: usability.
