  • Font size and font type should be properly visible
  • User can use keyboard properly like all keyboard action should be perform properly. Like if user press TAB key , cursor commend should be shifted to the next web element. On ESC key, cancel button should work if there are only 2 buttons on web page. On CAPS key, web page should remind us that your system CAPS key is open.  
  • Error and Successful message should be proper
  • Navigation from one page to another page should be correct
  • If any page deleted or user put some wrong URL then there should be a proper message on that broken page
  • Company Logo should be linked to Home page
  • Font type should be similar in whole internal pages
  • All URLs should be user friendly
  • Page Title should be self explainable.
