If I may take a poke at this even though I'm not Pat: I'd have to say different things are most important at different times. I'd have to say website design is always least important--if a start up has a great concept and great management, but a poorly designed website, it will soon become obvious that the mediocre website is holding the company back. It's easier to redesign a website, than to make great managers out of weak ones (or even to slap together a replacement team made up of all stars).

If a site has been up and running for a while, but can't attract visitors, I'd say that little else is important. So traffic will speak for itself. To sum up, at the start great management is most important. Later, traffic is most important because how the company is actually performing (and that's usually measured in eyeballs) is the ultimate test.
