They did read my previous book

I wasn't disappointed, it was just like what I've seen of the conference talk: simple, didactic, comprehensive and no-nonsense. And very unusual too. Unusual because it's one of the first times I've come across a book that covers the whole subject of designing a form, from the initial thought stages through the development stages (or almost all of them), including monitoring and accessibility. Very often, this information is available in separate sources: usability issues on one side, technical issues on the other, accessibility... oh no, no accessibility.

Very accessible content, even for me as a marketer. At first I thought "wow, 254 pages might be a bit long for a simple form", but in the end it wasn't!

I found the content useful for all professionals looking to create customer-focused forms and who also have a 'business' vision, as everything explained has an impact on the experience, conversions and therefore the figures. You're targeting a very broad audience and your content is relevant and well explained.
