It's not a site, but it's just an application that the employee can log into and do some stuff. So reading the TOC and the first chapter (in Amazon) really looks exiting. It will take a while until the book arrives. around 14 days... BTW, ever since I read your review (and bought the book), I keep looking on how site I'm surfing look. Or, how my wife is looking for the edit info option in Facebook :) Thanks,

What do you call an "enterprise web application" ? Anyway, the book is about websites made for companies, by that I mean it covers topics like navigation, asking for users involvement (for surveys for example), company brand/image, dealing with the home page and the like. All that on top of the advices on how to deal with real enterprise issues of "my boss wants me to ____" and how to reach a common agreement. Maybe the table of content could help you : Ch. 1 Don't make me think! Ch. 2 How we really use the Web Ch. 3 Billboard design 101 Ch. 4 Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Ch. 5 Omit needless words Ch. 6 Street sings and breadcrumbs Ch. 7 The first step in recovery is admitting that the home page is beyond your control Ch. 8 "The farmer and the cowman should be friends" Ch. 9 Usability testing on 10 cents a day Ch. 10 Usability as common courtesy Ch. 11 Accessibility, cascading style sheets, and you Ch. 12 Help! my boss wants me to _____. ++ Hi Eyal
