The Elements of User Experience: User-centered Design For The Web

by Jesse James Garrett

Pearson Education | October 11, 2002 | Trade Paperback

Smart organizations recognize that Web design is more than just creating clean code and sharp graphics. A site that really works fulfills your strategic objectives while meeting the needs of your users. Even the best content and the most sophisticated technology won''t help you balance those goals without a cohesive, consistent user experience to support it.

But creating the user experience can seem overwhelmingly complex. With so many issues involved-usability, brand identity, information architecture, interaction design-it can seem as if the only way to build a successful site is to spend a fortune on specialists who understand all the details.

The Elements of User Experience cuts through the complexity of user-centered design for the Web with clear explanations and vivid illustrations that focus on ideas rather than tools or techniques. Jesse James Garrett gives readers the big picture of Web user experience development, from strategy and requirements to information architecture and visual design. This accessible introduction helps any Web development team, large or small, to create a successful user experience.

    Too high level for practitioners but nice overview

    Makis Spyratos

    Mr. Garret's work has been quite interesting in the field of usability and experience design for the web so I decided I should have a gander at a published work.

    Although a nice little read that touches on important elements, this book is not a serious read on engineering a good user experience.

    I would recommend this book for managers and low level web designers or possibly developers as an overview of user-centered design philosophy.

    Summary: The serious practitioner will not gain much if anything from this book.

    For a more juicy read, I would recommend Albert N Badre's Shaping Web Usability: Interaction Design in Context or Mike Kuniavsky's Observing the User Experience.

    Cheers
