Check
Spelling and Grammar
Most
web development programs have a built in spell checker, but
it is a good idea to have a friend or co-worker double check
your pages. Words like "their" and
"there" will go through a spell checker, but may
not be used properly.
Make
Sure that each Page has Title and Description Meta Tags
You
want to be sure that when people bookmark your site, there
is a relevant title attached to it. The description meta
tags are useful for search engine spiders.
Check
for Broken Links on all Pages
Checking
links is especially important if you have absolute URLs on
your pages. An absolute URL is a link that specifies an
exact location.
Example:
http://www.concordnet.com.au/images/logo.jpg.
A
relative location is one that is relative to the folder it
is in.
Example: ..images/logo.jpg.
Regardless
of how you specify a page's location, double-checking the
links is important. Also, check for broken image links.
Make
Sure that Pages Look Good in all Major Browsers
(Explorer
and Netscape are key.)
Explorer
and Netscape tend to interpret code differently. A table
cell with a background colour could look perfect in
Explorer, but may show up as colourless in Netscape because
certain versions of Netscape will not recognize the
background colour in a cell if it is empty.
Include
a Feedback or Contact Link
It
is almost guaranteed that you will not catch every error on
your site the first time you upload it. Make it easy for
visitors to notify you of any problems they encounter.
