This document outlines the main criteria for evaluating websites: content, code, usability, and design. Content should be well-written, match text and pictures, be an appropriate length, communicate effectively, and come from a credible source. Code needs to be neatly written, properly closed, and avoid unnecessary technology. Usability requires organized navigation, site mapping, and equitable use. Design should be visually appealing, have an appropriate theme, and coherent structure.
