DESIGN

 

ANYBROWSER

Your site might look great as designed, but how does it display on a modest monitor and 1999 browser? Give your pages a quick check at AnyBrowser.com. Sites designed with FrontPage 2002 will look bad - they're rough on older browsers - but at least you'll see how to minimize problems.

Jakob Nielsen leads the charge for user-friendliness. His interface tips are spot on, and delivered with concision and humor. The top ten design mistakes for 2002 are illustrated with print-worthy cartoons by Doug Sheppard and Katrin L. Salyers. See them now at http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20021223.html

The top three mistakes?
1) No prices (a big problem on B-to-B sites)
2) Inflexible search engines
3) Horizontal scrolling

RECOMMENDED BOOKS ON DESIGN

Envisioning InformationEnvisioning Information and Visual Explanations by Edward Tufte

So much good writing is drowned in bad design. If you only ever buy two books on graphic design, these are the ones. Tufte's magnificent, lavishly-printed works show the power and subtlety of wise use of color, typography, layouts, charts and illustrations. See his website to learn more.

 

Designing Web UsabilityDesigning Web Usability and Homepage Usability by Jakob Nielsen

As Tufte brings excellence to the printed page, Nielsen does the same for the web page. Nielsen's books are rich with examples of good and bad design. His principles will help you distill complex sites into simple interfaces your visitors will love. Sample his ideas at his website, useit.com.
