- Home page: Is the home page informative & websites purpose well-stated? Is the proper mood & tone set for visitors? Is it fast-loading & error-less? Is there a clear telephone number for prospects to call?
- Navigation: Is the navigation consistent as you page-hop through the site?
- Site organization: Is the site easily understandable? Does the navigation make sense to visitors?
- Links & labels: Are links easily distinguishable & working? Are there broken links?
- Search and search results: Was the search engine function easy to find & use? Are there basic & advanced search functions? Are they accurate & relevant?
- Readability: Is the font easily readable & line lengths acceptable? Is the title easily scanned, with chunked information, or only solid text blocks?
- Performance: Do pages load slowly or quickly? Are graphics & multimedia optimized for easy web viewing? Does any multimedia play correctly? If an update on multimedia software is required, is there a link available?
- Content: Is the content relevant & met your expectations? Is the site content unique or using other sources?
