The document discusses how websites are often designed by focusing on features rather than user goals and needs. It suggests that features do not determine how well a site meets its objectives or users' goals. Instead, designers should determine who the target audience is, what goals they have, and what the site wants users to do. The design should be treated like an ongoing experiment with clear, testable hypotheses and evaluation to ensure it is meeting real people's needs rather than the designers' preconceptions. The overall message is to design an experience for users rather than just stitching together features.
