I would like to add some more:

Browser Compatibility:
Make sure your site is browser compatible. Your web site should look good in Netscape as well as in Internet Explorer.

Check for broken links:
A dead give away for a non-professional website is broken links. Always check for broken links any time you make changes to your site.

Design your website for all Resolutions:
Generally computer resolutions range from 640 x 480 to 1024 x 768 and higher. The recommendation is to design your site for all these resolutions. The easiest way to accommodate every resolution is to design your site in terms of percentage and not pixels. Also, test it under the various resolutions in all types of computers including Macintosh users and Windows computers at the library and at all other institutions.

Examine your site's source code:
You should examine your source code and ensure that your primary keywords or phrases will be spidered first. Search engines place higher relevancy on keywords and phrases which appear closer to the top of a page.

Easy to Navigate:
Make sure all your important links are at places that are easy to find, preferably right on top. This is where most visitors will look.

Fast Loading pages:
The goal for any web designer should be to have the page you are working on load in 15 seconds. Remember, you might have a great design but very few people are going to see it if it takes a long time to load.

Readable and professional looking fonts:
Don't use all CAPS, bright colors such as bright pink or green, or unusual fonts. Remember, sometimes "less is more".

Use of white space:
Keep your website design simple. Try not to clutter the pages with too many flashing graphics and colorful fonts. It is tiresome on the eye to try and read a page that has too much going on. Use white space to convey a "clean" sense on your pages. White space also is good for users who are using a lower resolution browser because they don’t have to scroll to view the information.
