' book review
Prioritizing Web Usability is the solemn title of web usability guru Jakob Nielsen's latest book, which he wrote with Hoa Loranger. It is a useful book, but its style is as po-faced as the title.
The fundamental idea is to highlight and prioritise the most important elements so that a website can achieve its objectives. Since Nielsen's earlier book, Designing Web Usability, the internet world has changed. Users have become more familiar with it and the technology in use has improved. So his new book also acts as an update to his earlier guidelines.
