@Gabriele: Good point about people getting carried away with the ‘cool and sexy’. Only experience of what works/doesn’t can separate the functional from the merely fashionable (though I think that is what @William felt about our eBook design).

Great work Kevin. One thing, and the most important in my opinion, that I would add is Understanding User Requirements (not just business). Business and User requirements will not be the same. …and, of course, keeping in mind that the primary purpose of the Intranet is utility over and above entertainment. Too many Marketers want to make it 'cool and sexy' without taking into account that different interfaces attract people for different reasons.

If you want to communicate with people using text, you should design your pages and "eBook" so the text can actually be read!

(1) Your pages are filled with white-space that conveys no information and

(2) Your text is so small as to be illegible to anyone with only slightly impaired vision.

Larger text using, using the limited space available on a 10-13" notebook screen would certainly have helped. After the first couple of nearly illegible pages, I did not explore your "eBook" further, as I had already decided that you didn't have much to say that I would be interested in..

Some appropriate graphics (i.e., that actually communicates something about the message(s) you are trying to communicate) would help.

Great eBook and good practical advice. Many thanks Kevin.
