Description:

Evaluating design to get the most out of CD-ROMs, Web sites, and On-line commercial databases

“Head delivers a practical and informative handbook about the usability of online resources. This is a terrific resource for anyone who cares about users and their ability to efficiently navigate the online world.” —Elizabeth Osder, The New York Times on the Web

A badly designed Web site interface can result in a site that is hard to find and hard to use but a well-designed interface helps users find and utilize the information they need quickly and easily. Design Wise explains what interface design is and how to evaluate it. Information on the importance of interface design to users, how a product gets designed, a design evaluation template, and design analyses of CD-ROMs, Web sites, and online providers is included. Users can now make sure that they are accessing the best computer resources that their time, effort, and money can buy.
