It doesn't matter if you do all the error checking in the world, or if you have the most beautiful graphics, if your site or application design isn't usable, it's not going to do well. Get input and advice on usability and user interface issues here.
My boss sent me a couple of links about web design and where most sites fail.
I thought the articles would make interesting reading for those here.
A couple are outdated but still worth a read.
