Part A - I am on the side of completing as much UX up front as possible. Bad
visual design is something that no one can ignore. I think that ideally before
you even have done the "black-text-on-white-background" prototype you start

of the godfather of usability, some people love him, some hate him, either way
you will learn something from this guy. Also, going through tons of websites
and critiquing them by yourself or with peers, writing down everything that
