My first advice for new entrepreneurs is to pick a domain that doesn’t have the sky-high up-front development costs, like online web sites and smart phone apps. If your offering is exciting enough, you may get millions in small amounts from other people on the Internet to help you fly high over the valley of death.

A good way to go about redesigns is to use the Lean Design methodology. A non-intuitive design steals the focus of the user. Over-the-shoulder usability tests.
