Designing new products is easy. Designing brand new web-based user interfaces from scratch is not even a work — it’s fun. I mean, it’s a tough job to get it right, but at the end of the day, what could go so horribly wrong, that it can’t be improved it in the next iteration?

First of all, you have done a hell of a job by designing a process like this. I have intuitively used some of these ideas already but never tried to make a rigorous methodology out of it. Kudos!

I’m skeptical of design principals.
The principals I have seen so far aren’t hard choices and tend to be fluff. They should be something that can inspire valid agreement and disagreement with them. If everyone agrees industry wide they are really best practices, not a particular organization’s principals.
