Complete the checklist below when you believe you are finished editing your web page. A PDF of this checklist is also attached below.
Read through each item carefully. Place a checkmark on the line only after you have made sure that you have fully complied with the direction(s) next to it.
_____ 1. I have a lot of good information about my topic.
_____ 2. My information is logically organized.
_____ 3. I have an appropriate number of relevant pictures.
_____ 4. I have linked words on my page to other appropriate sites where more information
about the topic can be found.
_____ 5. The text size I use on my pages makes them easy to read and is not less than 12
points in size.
_____ 6. I have written my information in my own words. If I am using an exact quote from
some other source, I have placed the quote inside quotation marks.
_____ 7. I have revised my writing so that it expresses my ideas to the best of my ability.
_____ 8. I have carefully proofread my pages for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and
grammatical mistakes. Spell check alone is not sufficient.

_____ 10. I have formatted my pages carefully to make sure indentations, spacing, and
alignment contribute to a well-organized and attractive page.
_____ 11. Links that take visitors to another site open in a new tab, but links that go to
another part of our site do not open a new tab.
_____ 12. All of my information and images are properly cited on my Works Cited Subpage. Citations are easy to read, and there are spaces between each individual citation.
