5. Examine, proofread and edit your page. Be sure to have good loading and navigation. The contents must all be purposeful and redounds to the function of your site. The text must be readable and the colors are good to the eyes. Consider also other important factors that make a site productive. If there are flaws or errors, correct them right away.

6. Continue doing other pages. If you are already satisfied with your first page, continue doing the rest and follow the same procedure to check the quality of your site.
