    <description>In April 2004, Boxes and Arrows sent a set of questions to Steve Krug for an interview to be published in the June edition. What we didn't know at the time was that Steve is a notoriously slow and methodical writer. Eleven months later, to our great delight, this interview turned up. Thanks Steve!</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Indeed nice to hear from Steve again, even if it&amp;#8217;s after 11 months ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;I liked the interview and I really like Steve&amp;#8217;s methods for consulting.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;I agree with him that 500+ pages usability reports don&amp;#8217;t do much good for companies. I&amp;#8217;ve seen a major electronics company dumping there 10.000 Euro&amp;#8217;s costing report because they simply could&amp;#8217;t do anything with it.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;What Steve does is to give an advice that is easy to implement and that makes a website more usable quickly.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;He also doesn&amp;#8217;t advice companies to make there website look like a wordpad document with 18+ sized letters.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;If we (usability experts) want to make the world more usable then I think this is the way. Because you have to admit that most websites you visit (having some eye for usability) can be made much more user-friendly with even some minor quick changes. Changes that are not very costly but make a visitor feel a lot less frustrated.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Keep up the good work Steve and I&amp;#8217;m looking forward to your next book.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
