The book "Don't make me think" states a few essential facts that we have to consider when building or intend to create a website. First, the website has to be self-explanatory, since the web users do not want to think when they are surfing on the web. Second, it should be user friendly, and extremely easy to use, the purpose to use a website is to save time; therefore it should allows web users to scan through to page and get what they want. The better the website work for the web users, the higher the possibility that they will come back and use it again. When we design a website that contains clear directions, recognizable tools, and working fast, when web users finds what they want, they are likely to stick with it. The author restates these few points in the introduction and chapter 1 and 2.
I found this book written in a really interesting that it keeps me reading, just as the information he gives out, it is important to keep your web users keep coming back and stay in your web site. I like how to illustration in the text makes it much easier to understand the whole concept. Sounds simple as it seems, creating a user-friendly website may be a bit of the challenge. We all know how to pick a good website that we like and stick to it, but when it comes to our hand to build one, it may not be as simple as it looks.
After reading the first few chapters, I found out we can view things at different points of view to make things a bit more interesting and understandable. It is always good to absorb information from different points of view to find out whats best. I am getting excited to create my first personal website, ever!
