Don't Make Me Think

Book • 2000
Don't Make Me Think is a book that focuses on the principles of human–computer interaction and web usability.

The book highlights the importance of designing for scanning rather than reading, using conventions and visual hierarchies, and conducting usability testing.

It also includes updated chapters on mobile usability and practical advice on navigation structure and user-centered design.

The book is known for its brevity, wit, and use of real-life examples to illustrate good and bad design practices.
