A very good book for reviewing our deliverable works.

This book is in-depth & provides a lot of details that others leave out - and as a web designer/developer, you NEED to get into the details. The checklists included with the book are extremely useful and I find myself referring to them on every project. Since this was published a few years ago (2011) I think an update to include more recent mobile, responsive, and adaptive info would be great. However it is still a very useful course as-is. Kudos!

Quite useful ... I feel very confident my new website will contain the most relevant, user friendly, and accessible content it should have. Thank you!

Good book, easy to follow.

I find the verbose and informal writing style employed by this book time consuming and obnoxious. There are far more succinct and relevant resources available elsewhere.
