ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Don't Make Me Think, Revisited by Steve Krug, the central idea revolves around a common-sense approach to web usability. The book emphasizes the crucial principle of making websites and other interfaces self-evident and easy to use so that users don't have to expend unnecessary effort figuring things out. It delves into understanding how users actually navigate and interact with the web, highlighting behaviors like scanning rather than reading. Key themes include the importance of intuitive navigation, clear visual hierarchy, and eliminating elements that cause users to pause and think. The book offers practical guidance on creating designs that prioritize clarity and user-friendliness.
