Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed

Jakob Nielsen & Marie Tahir
New Riders
ISBN 0-7357-1102-XM

Jakob Nielsen is a leading world expert on how to make websites truly usable, and his Alertbox [www.useit.com/alertbox/] email newsletter has helped many web designers to understand these issues. This book looks at the mistakes – and good points – of some leading websites. It shows us examples to follow, and faults to avoid. Although it was published several years ago, and graphic styles have changed since then, usability issues remain relatively unchanged.
