Having stumbled across the article "10 Usability Crimes You Really Shouldn't Commit, I can see that the suggestions are pretty obvious, and the number 10 is probably more arbitrary than based on some natural break in severity. However, there are some things in the article I have been repeating for years that people just don't get. And this article uses He-Man graphics, which makes it even cooler.
I'll list the 10 items, but they are much cooler in context and with the He-Man photos, so go there anyway.
- Form labels that aren't associated to form input fields;
- A logo that doesn't link to the homepage;
- Not specifying a visited link state;
- Not indicating an active form field;
- An image without an alt description;
- A background image without a background color;
- Using long boring passages of content;
- Underlining stuff that isn't a link;
- Telling people to click here;
- Using justified text.
