If you want to learn usability, this is a good introduction:
http://okcancel.com/comic/1.html http://okcancel.com/comic/1.html
The real reason Web Designers suck at Web Design is that they use different tool from the developers, and a pixel perfect layout will not survive contact with 'the enemy'. Where 'the enemy' = different default font sizes, fractionally different rendering rules for different browsers (and different versions of the same browser), etc etc.
EVEN APPLE CANNOT GET THIS RIGHT.
Yeah bitches, you read me right. :D Even Apple screws this up.
Classic Example:
Using Safari, to view the Apple store, http://store.apple.com http://store.apple.com all you needed to do to screw up their beautiful layout was to change the default font size.
Also, when they introduced the iPhone, it wasn't available in all countries, so in countries where it wasn't available there were weird gaps, and other basic errors in their layout.
Also... grey text on grey background... not good.

Funnily enough, anyone that holds themselves up as a usability expert is almost guaranteed to have a website that induces seizures and/or vomiting. Jakob Nielsen (sp?) being the classic extreme example of this.
