商品描述

The book begins with a briefing on Jakob's web usability principles, themselves culled from years of research. The 50 sites fall under such categories as Fortune 500 Sites, Highest-Traffic Sites, and E-Commerce Sites. The content is simply presented: Four book pages are devoted to each homepage. The first page is a clean screenshot of the site's homepage (for readers to make their own, unbiased judgments), followed by a page that explains the site's purpose and summarizes its success--or failure--at usabilty. The third and fourth pages are devoted to crtiques, where Jakob and Marie present no-holds-barred commentary for specific usability practices, as well as suggestions for improvement. Although only the homepage of each site is analyzed, many of the critiques can be applied to overall website design.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書以Jakob的網頁可用性原則作為開端，這些原則是從多年的研究中提煉出來的。這50個網站分為財富500強網站、最高流量網站和電子商務網站等類別。內容簡潔明瞭：每個主頁都有四頁書面介紹。第一頁是該網站主頁的截圖（讓讀者自行做出公正的判斷），接下來是一頁解釋該網站的目的並總結其在可用性方面的成功或失敗。第三和第四頁專門用於評論，Jakob和Marie對特定的可用性實踐提出毫不保留的評論，並提出改進建議。雖然只分析了每個網站的主頁，但許多評論也可以應用於整體網站設計。
