alpha Readiness Checklist

Please note that all the below criteria, in the checklist, must be met before considering the site as being ready for alpha Review.

Checklist for main page of web

Does the page have the following?

  1. a name of index.html or equivalent (ie. home.php for WordPress) ? By naming your main home page index.html, users will be able to access your site without supplying a filename at the end of the address.
  2. a title which contains the name of your web site followed by “, CompanyName LLC “. For example: CompanyName LLC
  3. the CompanyName brands used correctly!
  4. the full name of the person to contact regarding your web site .
  5. an email link behind the name of the contact person with an ” @ mail.com ” email address. For example, in the link Sue Jones, the code ” mailto: sjones @ mail.com ” is stored behind the Sue Jones link. If you need an alias for your email contact, contact: webmaster @ CompanyName.com.
  6. META Tags to identify your web site to search engines. We recommend that you use the author, keyword and description META Tags

Checklist for each page of web site

  1. tables

    2. Use sparingly and with caution! Avoid table use in documents whenever possible.
    Table use in or base html should be prohibited!

  2. animated images

    3. Design an animated image so that it stops animating after a few seconds and doesn ‘ t loop continuously. Images that flicker (with a repetitive strobe) should be designed so that the frame rate is not faster than two frames per second. This is especially important for larger flickering images or images which flicker between highly contrasting colors.

    To check a web page for accessibility issues, use a tool like the free tool named A-Prompt Toolkit.

Checklist for your entire web site

  1. Have you changed all link references to www.CompanyName.com?
  2. Remember any copied links must be reachable.
