Document checklist

Here is a list of things to do when you have prepared your document:

1. Read through it carefully. Look at:
   • spelling
   • grammar
   • clarity of expression
   • structure
   • usability
2. Check out the graphics
   • do they enhance the content?
   • are they aesthetically pleasing? (if you can't tell, ask someone who can)
   • are images of manageable size? (downloading time)
   • is the text easily readable? (avoid busy backgrounds, watch color combinations of text and background)
3. Test it in different environments:
   • at least three browsers, including one plain text one
   • different monitors with varying resolution, size and color capability
4. Run it through an HTML validator program.
5. Have someone else view it and give you comments.
6. Announce it.
