Usabilitiy - Week 1

"Matching the user's natural flow is just one challenge a web-based application developer needs to address" (Spool, 2008, para.5) . I found this useful. Can you find the application, is it what you expected, does the order flow as you thought?

I read through Krug "Don't make me think" and found it very easy to read - unlike most of my readings in other classes. He seems very practical and states things simply. I wish most text books followed his style. I changed my own site after reading it and added a site search to each page. I will probably add a site map too. It is making me critique sites I visit with his suggestions in mind.
