The article looks useful, but worth pointing out that the Basecamp pricing table example is wrong - this is not a hover state, it's just a display meant to attract attention to the most popular plan.

Interesting.. We've been studying different UI and design methods as we roll out our own startup. (http://infostripe.com)

One slightly disappointing thing we have found is how similar and cookie cutter many startups are as they rush to mimic their competition or perceived UI trends.

Regardless of if they fit or actually work or not.

This article is making me re-realize that I am in over my head, trying to do all of the UI for my startup myself :/

This article was written by a guy who created his web app without knowing Rails. In a few months, he had learned Rails, and had designed, developed and launched his own app. So don't be discouraged!

There's so many wonderful resources out there on UI/app development, but what I got from this article is that these lessons you'll learn best by creating (and using) web apps.

Here's the author's Rails article on the same site: http://sixrevisions.com/web-development/why-making-web-apps-...

The UI of your start-up very rarely makes or breaks it if you iterate and keep it clean. This is a great article about increasing user retention from x% to x+y%, but like A/B testing and everything else, it will not make a bad product good or a good product bad. Just keep moving forward and listening to your users, they'll tell you what they want and then once you have a customer B, you can A/B test to your heart's content.
