Walter Apai from Webdesigner Depot has an exclusive interview with web usability expert Jakob Nielsen. The article discusses how Nielsen started in the field of usability and ways to test it.
Nielsen is a leading web usability consultant who worked at Sun Microsystems (1994 to 1998) to make enterprise software easier to use.
He is also known as the founder for “discount usability engineering” for quick and inexpensive improvements in user interfaces.
Nielsen’s ideas on usability are not without critics, but working in the field of UX you will most certainly run into them.
Jakob Nielsen’s website has a distinct plain look to it with only text and search bar at the top. Nielsen gives reason as to why there is only text and almost no graphics on Use It.com.
