    Don't Make Me Think

    Absolutely agree that $200 per round of testing for a clear return is worth it, I just didnt want the OP thinking that testing with 1 user was the way to go

    Don't Make Me Think

    $39 dollars per user. Depending on your target demographics that could become expensive. If the demographic is simple then an iterative process of testing with 5 users is optimum. Iterations are critical because fixing usability issues found in one round of testing might create a new...

    Don't Make Me Think

    It is a very good book and Steve Krug makes some excellent observations. From a web developers point of view a lot of the bad decisions in website layout are driven by the customer and changes are often made late in the development process meaning usability testing and interface design...

    CSS - A little help required!
