Web Design Considerations
Are the pages printable on A4/US letter paper?
Does the site work on all browsers? (Cross-Browser functionality) (Netscape and Opera as well as Internet Explorer etc)
Does the site work on Apple Macs, Unix and PCs etc? (Cross-Platform functionality)
Can you see the whole of the site in common screen resolutions (800x600, 1024x768) without scrolling?
Have you stuck to common fonts such as Arial, Lucida, Verdana and Georgia? (Some fonts won't be installed on visitors' machines)
Can the text on the screen be read comfortably? Try to avoid clashing background images and colours as it will be difficult for the visually impaired to read.
Is the navigation intuitive? If you are using images as navigation do they have ALT tags? Try adding text navigation at the bottom of the page; this will help if the visitors' connection is slow as they will still be able to navigate the site.
Are the images optimised and quick to download? Have you used GIF and JPEG formats for the right type of images?
Have you used web safe colours? (Some screens can only display 256 colours)
