Only check the boxes when you can answer "yes" to the question.


Have you read the criteria and believe that your site is eligible for an Award.

Has the text been through a spell checker and written in proper English?

Is there a means to contact the webmaster from any page on the site?

Is the site kept current and has a list of updates?

Is the type standard throughout and easy to read?

Does the site have a detailed copyright statement?

Are your graphics optimized so that they will load quickly? Do you use ALT tags in case they do not load?

If you have graphics-rich pages, do none of them exceed a total of 150 KB, including graphics, HTML, etc.? (Flash pages excluded.)

If you have graphics pages that exceed 150 KB, do you have a good reason (like exceptionally good graphics that for some reason cannot be optimized any more, and/or cannot be separated onto more than one page?)

Do you have links on most pages that take you to the other "major" sections of your site, including your home page?

Do you have at least 5 pages of REAL content on your pages? (Meaning, unique content that you created, not just guestbooks, blogs, awards, links or splash pages?)

Does your site have a consistant theme (graphics, navigation etc.?) or is it just a jumble of mixed pages and graphics?

Have you navigated your site to make sure you have no missing page errors?

If you have music on your site, do you provide a way to shut it off?

Is the site created exclusively by you, or exclusively by you and a collaborator?

Do you have permission to use any graphics that you did not create yourself?

If someone else made your graphics for you, have you given them credit?

If you have a Flash Intro, does it have a "Skip Intro" link?

Have you made a point not to use those things commonly known as "trailing cursors"?

Do you have a minimum of banner ads or pop-ups on your pages?

Does your site look acceptable in Netscape and Internet Explorer?

Does your page not have horizontal scrolling at 800x600 screen resolution?

Do you have contact information (email address) some place on your site?

Is your site completely family friendly? (including links)

If you cannot answer "yes" to most of these questions, your site may not be ready for an award.
