Final Review
To design a site you need tools do be creative and to check how the
users accept your creativity. You can run regular logfile analysis
to check for holes and user losses.
But if you are loosing visitors how can you improve the design?
This book helps you answer this not so unusual question. Plenty of
examples and illustrations display right/wrong approaches.
Very important is: that you try to swap places with your visitors.
Holmes explains how to break into a forgotten world. Take time
to learn this.
