Usability useful links

I teach a class once a week on digital marketing. It mostly covers the promotional 'P'. I thought it would be a useful exercise to share the links, resources and others thoughts here.

This week's is usability. I think I first came across website usability when working for Interactive Return - now owned by Radical.

Some links:

Two to the most popular books back then were Jakob Nielson's Designing Web Usability and Steve Krug's 'Don't make me think'. Both still popular.

• Top Ten mistakes in web design by Jakob.
• Strong feedback
• Ten tips for a usable website
• Sample usability test script here if you were going to test a website's usability. Via Steve Krug (Thanks).
• Good example here of a website (facebook page actually) with one clear objective. And their views on this.
• Another fine example of a website here with a clear objective. This website leads us into a our next class about direct and digital marketing.
• A good experiment / test here.
