Web usability is what I do for a living. I joke that I make things pretty, but really my job is also to make sure that sites have consistent logical navigation. It also can have to do with making sure a site functions correctly with screen readers and other things that help people with disabilities use the web.
Good examples are fortunately around more and more these days. Bad examples include things like "mystery meat" navigation (where you have to roll over an image to find out where clicking it will take you), unclear instructions, not showing someone what a proper input is before they submit something in the wrong format, etc.
