The purpose of Making the Web Work is to educate engineers, product marketers, and less experienced designers about the process and practice of interface design for Web applications. As the first book dedicated to the topic of interface design for HTML-based “thin-client” applications, Making the Web Work provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of user-centered design as well as a specific methodology for dissecting an interface into a series of smaller, manageable issues.
Making the Web Work illustrates numerous design problems and solutions, relying on examples from popular consumer Web applications such as Yahoo!, eBay, Hotmail, Evite, and Expedia. Discussing the range of structural, organizational, interactive, and visual issues, Making the Web Work concludes with detailed case studies of Amazon.com and Ofoto.
Whether you’re creating consumer Web applications or more complex applications designed for enterprise database applications, Making the Web Work will provide you with the specific solutions, thoughtful rationale, and solid methodology central to well-designed, satisfying, and usable applications.
