Web Site
Amongst other things you should seriously consider the following
guidelines.
Ensure that their is a good balance of text and images, bearing in mind the
emphasis placed on accessibility.
Check and recheck your colour schemes for readability and accessibility in
general.
Use colours that are safe for the web.
Use links at bottom of page to top if the page is long, (If all of it
cannot be viewed on the screen at the same time)
If frames are being used - don't forget alternative links.
Ensure that you have chosen your links from reliable sources and prove your
case.
Don't forget to use the list of evaluation criteria to evaluate every
site in a consistent way.
Make sure you have investigated your subject properly in order to get the
message across to the user.
A paragraph of relevant information should support each link - in order
that the user can judge whether the site is worth browsing.
If you have employed a grading system to evaluate your links then inform
the user of the rank you have chosen for each link - perhaps in the
informative paragraph.
Ensure that your subject matter is categorised in order to point the user
to the relevant category; reflect this in your navigation.
Ensure that you explain the rationale and logic behind your choice of
categories.
It is important that your team reviews the content of the site and
eradicates any grammatical or spelling errors. Check for these errors
against a UK English spellchecker.
