Useit.Com has a great article up on current mistakes of web-design.

Many of this year's top design mistakes actually indicate a happy phenomenon: we are making progress in Web usability. Now that sites are doing certain things correctly, we get hit by second-order phenomena that only cause problems because users have progressed past the first-order issues.

  1. Unclear Statement of Purpose
  2. New URLs for Archived Content
  3. Undated Content
  4. Small Thumbnail Images of Big, Detailed Photos
  5. Overly detailed ALT Text
  6. No "What-If" Support
  7. Long Lists that Can't Be Winnowed by Attributes
  8. Overly Restrictive Form Entry
  9. Products Sorted Only by Brand
  10. Pages That Link to Themselves
