Subject: [thelist] web design checklist


Before doing a site-critique request, I would like
to pass some in-house designs, thru a "web design checklist".

I am looking for a checklist that containt design elements such
as:
- Does design include more than 8 colors ?
- Is the site bigger thatn XX Kb ?
- Are page elements cluttered ?

also, usability checks, like:
- Are links using the ALT tag ?
- Is hyperlinking used too infrequently, causing large pages to be
downloaded?
- Is a "printer friendly" version available for printing pages that contain
many graphics ?

Anyone have such a list ? I found some on the net, but maybe I am missing
THE CHECLIST. :)

I am trying to find good arguments to convince our new designer
(who cant tell the difference between two html tags) that his
design is not quite what we need, both usability- and visually-wise.

Thanks in advance.
