Clear navigation is important. That would probably be my top usability tip. I have been to websites where I can't find my way around, and it's frustrating. I don't want to be at the site anymore because I don't understand it.
Put everything where it should go: Search bar and RSS icon in the top right, ads along the right side, navigation along the top or along the left side, et cetera. All this is helpful to the site user because conventional placements have trained users to automatically look for certain elements in certain places.
You can also use modal boxes for logins, contact forms, et cetera, so the user doesn't have to navigate so many different pages.
There are plenty of ways you can make your UX more smooth for site users, these are just a few of the more important ones.

Don't make the user think too much. Call to action buttons are important, but use them sparingly. Use of color is key as well as being consistent (e.g. All H3 headings should be the same style and color, etc.).
