Re: design standards?

* Is the page so large that it won't fit on a standard resolution screen?

There is no such standard. And screen size is not the critical
consideration anyhow - it's the visitor's browser's viewport dimensions.

I've done some web searching, but there is so much junk out there I can't
find a clear source, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right
direction.

I'm looking for a set of web page design standards (online info, or a
reference to a book that does a good job of this) that include a set of
systematic criteria for web page/ web site evaluation, for example:

* Is the page so large that it won't fit on a standard resolution screen?
* Are clickable graphics visually distinct from non-clickable graphics?
* Are descriptions for each potential action ("click here to ....")
embedded
inline with the areas the user will interact with?
* Is there a single-click way to get back to the main page?
* From the main page, can you get to every page within 4 clicks?
* From the main page, are all subpages categorized clearly so a user will
always know where to find what they are looking for?
* etc.

While I need at least the physical/visual design, I'd prefer to also have
as
much information on functionality (like the number of clicks) and site
structure as well. I'm much less interested (for now) in the programming
details- I want to develop a good design first, then figure out how to
implement it rather than trying to design a less functional interface
because I feel limited by the tools available.

I appreciate any suggestions you might have for sites or books that do a
good job of covering this topic.

Thanks!
Keith
