FIRST IMPRESSION

• Do I get a nice impression of the site, the design and its color when I first visit your website?


• Do you present your starting page like the beautifully arranged shop window of a department store, so I get the desire to enter?
  


• Does the first impression of your web site produce a positive and pleasant?


• Is every page on your website viewable without entering passwords or downloading special fonts or software?


• If you have a flash intro on your site, can it be easily skipped and does Music have an off-button?

CONTENT

Content is very important. I am a stranger on your web site. I want to be  pleasantly surprised and anxious to explore your website like an alien planet.  

•  Does your site have interesting and well written content? Will your stories generate emotions; will I feel happy or sad?


•  Does the site contain more than pictures of pets or pages of links?
  
  
•  Does the writing have continuity with no spelling or grammatical  errors? Try a spell checker if you need it.


•  Do you tell your visitors about yourself? I want to know the person behind the work.
  
  
•  Do you maintain your website regularly? Do you make regular updates or have a news page?
