02

Experience

Test the real route on a phone, with a keyboard, with reduced motion, and on a slow connection.

  • No horizontal overflow
  • Visible focus
  • Useful page titles
  • Branded 404
  • Forms explain what happens
03

Ownership

Record who owns the domain, repository, hosting account, analytics, and content updates. A site is only durable when the team can operate it.
