what you consider to be annoying and terrible for "normal" users is likely vastly different to what those users themselves think.
Right, lowest common denominator thinking. "Some people don't know any different, so let them have it!"
If not, take Weebly as a good example of what to imitate.
You know what? Instead of sending an email that says, inexplicably, "Steps to creating your first website," I'm going to put resources into making it a smoother process for creating that site when they signup, before they leave.
Don't - whatever you do - take this blog post as justification or a reason to ignore your users.

That's a pretty extreme conclusion.
