Wildfire: Design & Usability

This is one of the best books I have read on designing web sites. Most other web design books are filled with rubbish about designing "artistic" sites. This book is not. It provides a serious analysis of what goes into making a web site that will provide your users with the functions/content that you want. It covers all the major subject areas and is a brilliant read.

Contents Include:

• Why Web Usability
• Page Design
• Content Design
• Site Design
• Intranet Design
• Accessibility for people with Disabilities
• International Use: Serving a Global Audience
• Future Predictions for the Web
• Conclusion: Simplicity in Web Design

Recommended for people just getting into web sites to business managers who need to get a grasp of design for their company intranet. I couldn't recommend it more.
