Check your web pages and website
Spell check the entire site.
Upload the site to the server and try it, checking all links and anchors.
Check images. Some may have loaded to a different folder and some sites
may have changed address since your site was originally written.
View the site with images turned off. Ensure no essential navigation has
been lost because GIF buttons do not display. Has the "<ALT>"
tag been used effectively in the HTML to display captions where the image
would have displayed.
Try the site with a text only browser. If you do not have access to one
try http://www.cast.org/ for help.
Check how the site looks on other platforms. This is more of a problem
but worth attempting to use different platforms.
Check the code for accessibility. http://www.cast.org/products/Bobby/
offer reports on the site of your choice.
Check the colour displays and graphics by setting your monitor to 256
colours. This should replicate the worst monitors and will give you an idea
of whether your site is acceptable.
Check that the browser title bar matches the content of the web page.
Check the navigation and ensure there is more than one way to navigate
from page to page within the site. Ensure that those links and icons are
consistent.
Check the alignment of text and images on your pages are as you intended
them to be and that images are of minimum size possible.
Check that any 'cool stuff' is justified and not merely gratuitous. Ensure
there is contact information particularly should your users wish to comment
on the site.
