12/23/2002 10:55 AMNot everyone has time to conduct a formal usability study, or the
money to invest in a full blown usability initiative, and frankly,
lots of times that might not be the best option anyway. Sometimes a
designer or developer needs that one-on-one, maker-to-user interface.
Gorilla Usability will show you some ways to get to know your users in
a real world, out-from-behind-the-glass kind of way.

The book begins with a chapter of precise guidelines that serve as
a checklist of the features and functionality to include on your home
page. The specifics found in categories such as "revealing content
through examples" and "graphic design" will quickly hook you and whet
your appetite for more. These guidelines are followed up with hard
statistics and an examination of the ominous Jakob's Law: "Users spend
most of their time on other sites than your site." Here you'll find
some interesting statistics about how various conventions like search,
privacy policies, and logos are used.
All this leads up to the showcase element of the book--a systematic
deconstruction of 50 of the most popular home pages on the Web. The
authors painstakingly pick apart each in an uncompromising autopsy of
usability. Each site is graphically analyzed for its use of real
estate and summarized with the frankness only found from true experts.
Then each section of the home page is bulleted and analyzed for
potential improvements.

Guidelines for Visualizing Links: A lot of really good guidelines
for hyperlink usability that really boil down to one point: do links
the way HTML was built to handle them and you won't have any problems.
Ninety-nine percent of usability problems on the Net are a result of
people trying to get cute.
Don't underline any text that's not a link, even if your
links aren't underlined. Reserve underlining for links. Because
underlines provide a strong perceived affordance of clickability,
users will be confused and disappointed if underlined text doesn't
have an actual affordance to match this perception.

programmers feel that pure text links are invaluable to good web site
promotion and usability. Artists and designers feel that navigation is
static and needs to grab the attention of the user. "
