When you take a look at the web site navigation and the initial web design concepts, think about the questions you have about what something means or what the section is about - and you can see if others run into the same questions. It's simple, it's quick and it's a good start to get out the easy problems (mostly terminology). Then you can dive deeper into more formal usability testing to really get ahead of your competition.
