How do you keep up with the changing needs of the user, or how to keep your programs more user-friendly? Thanks!

I'm a college student, writing a report. I'm a programming major, just starting out, and have taken no programming classes yet. Any input would help me out a lot!

there is a subject called Human Computer Interaction (HCI) it talks about how to make you computer software more user-friendly and how there is many ways to present the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to the user i.e High-Fidelity and Low-Fidelity method, and a lot more...
it's really a big subject and I can't write about it because it will take me a lot of time
but you can search the Internet for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and you'll find a lot of helping information.

Use a template, so that you can change the User Interface without changing the whole program. In the Windows Forms world with VB.Net you would use Visual Inheritance of a form compiled as a class library. Just change the template form and recompile the class library. Then for your application use "Inherited Forms" that refer to the template form in your class library.
In ASP.Net you could use the feature called Master Pages. That way as your requirements changed for the User interface, you just change the Master form, and all the inheriting forms (ie screens or web pages) change automatically.
