Firebug is great, I also find the Firefox plugins ColorZilla (colour picker tool) and html validator (flags html errors and warnings) extremely useful.

I just got an associates degree in WGD and I found this list to be really useful. Gives me something to work towards, as I am only familiar with 4 of the 10 items listed here. It turns out I was already using regular expressions without specifically knowing about them (I just picked up on a habit I seen someone else used and never really knew why it worked).

Thanks for taking the time to create this checklist!

I'd add basic performance rules to this list. See: Yahoo's Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site. This list together with YSlow plugged into Firebug can teach a developer quick tricks to greatly reducing bandwidth requirements and improved user experience by getting the page on the screen a hell of a lot faster.

Yes. You forgot about Payment Mgt. Systems.
We all want to get paid.
Amazon, PayPal, Google and how about Boku, so busy they are turning business away right now.
just thought I would mention…

I learn’t most of my SEO from SEOMOZ. I still visit the site to read the blog and watch the videos… Rand Fishkin actually makes SEO entertaining.

If only clients knew some basic SEO, it would be much easier to get them to provide useful text with the odd keyword thrown in.

I know nothing about “Regular expressions” and very little (I actually mean nothing) about cyber law… what an admission.
Thanks for the prompts.
