Re: Planning and Designing a Website
As another helpful (it is hoped) suggestion, I strongly suggest visiting
Boxes and Arrows (http://www.boxesandarrows.com), especially its how-to
subsite
(http://www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/cat_how_to_methods_approaches.php).
This site is devote to information architecture, usability, and user
experience. Lots of smart people writing about really practical stuff.
That site may (or may not) be full of useful, practical information, but for me it's almost unreadable. It uses a tiny font that won't enlarge enough for my eyes to see, and grey-on-grey in the navigation bar -- not exactly a good example of usability!
BTW, I also recommend Steven Krug's book _Don't Make Me Think_. It's about principles, not technical how-to details.
