Usability
Usability helps make interacting with things easier, quicker, and lets people complete tasks, and recover from errors quickly.
This is done through heuristic evaluation, where web pages are reviewd based on user centric guidelines, or through user testing which involves putting users in front of screens and having them complete tasks.
Observations from user tests give clues of changes to improve the end product.
Interaction design is the application of usability techniques and design skills to craft the user experience in software and websites

Usability
When changes are made to web sites and application based on heuristic or user observations the ROI (Return on Investment) increases. More sales are made, users feel better about the company they are interacting with and users stick around longer.
Usability techinques such as card sorting, where users sort index cards to organize site content, flow charting, where typical paths through sites are mapped to see where people go (and where they are supposed to go), heuristic evaluation, and user testing can be done before a site is launched, in preperation for a redesign or on existing sites.

Web Development
Web development is where the flat ideas start to take real shape. The final design is "coded", which means for all practical purposes is clickable from page to page, and items such as roll over buttons, animations, sound, and video are all integrated into a cohesive puzzle to drive people to your web space.
I've integrated sites with simple and complex content management systems, blogs, and other site features like mailing lists, eCommerce solutions and for social networking.
