What people are saying…


As an account manager in the digital advertising space, I found this book to be an essential reference for both myself and my current team. The book lays out every aspect of UX in a comprehensive and useful way. I especially love the sections on content strategy and usability testing, which are not everyday topics for people who are new to digital work or website development. I highly recommend purchasing a copy for the office!

This series has done it again. I bought some other Dummies books, and they were all informative and user friendly, but I was somewhat familiar with the other topics. This one has given me directions and understanding of a concept I knew very little about in thorough yet simple easy to grasp way. Thank you for writing this book.
