********** <User-Centered Web Development> by Dr. Jonathan Lazar *********

Dr. Jonathan Lazar’s recently published text <User-Centered Web
Development> is designed to guide readers through the process of designing
Web-based resources based on the needs of the user in a “No-Nonsense and
Clear Style.”  Web sites are constantly being designed without considering
the needs of the users.  As a result, the web site often fails to fulfill
its intended purpose.

This text...

*** Takes the reader from the initial idea of developing a web site,
through determining the mission of the web site, collecting the
requirements, designing the pages, performing usability testing, and
implementing and managing a web site.

*** Shows how to implement Lazar's design concepts in three case studies
spread throughout the book, a non-profit, an educational web site and
Eastman Kodak.

*** Designates separate chapters to the essential topics of Navigation
Design, Page Design, and Design for Multiple Browsers.

<User-Centered Web Development> is a useful resource for classes in web
design, human factors, human-computer interaction, and online communities
at the undergraduate and graduate level as well as for professionals
designing small- to medium-sized web sites for companies and other
organizations.
