As you know, there are virtually unlimited number of criteria on which we judge if one website is good or not, but there are only 10-15 major ones that have to be fully covered in order to have the base successful website. If those criteria are covered then we can say that your website has the potential for growth and success, but potential alone without a lot of work is merely nothing.
Successful Website Criteria
I those are the 11 most vital characteristics of a successful website. I won’t give you how much points I give for each one of them, but I will say that they total in 100 points. If I reviewed your website and scored it 50 points then your website need a lot of work and if I gave your 75 point then you’re pretty much on the right target but still not there. For some exceptional websites I can give more than 100 points and this will be only when I get really impressed with some work. For now I’ve seen only about 10-15 websites that impress me so don’t really think your website can get me that happy. I don’t think its necessary to mention that if I gave you less than 50 points then your website most definitely stinks badly.

I‘m not going to say which one how many points it is because that‘s not something that you have to bother with because if you want to have good website you have to perfect all those points not only the most important ones! Very soon when I have some free time (God knows when) I‘ll write short description on all of my criteria and why I‘ve chosen them as key elements plus few hints and tips how to make them more useful.
