I would suggest some business orientated checks as well (most likely off-topic though) - Are you meeting user goals? - Is your content web orientated?
There would be a lot more in there I would think, but I think it should be included for any check list of a development plan.

A more extensive list of check points would include: 1. Quality of code - Valid HTML? - Valid CSS? - Semantically correct code? 2. Degree of separation between content and presentation - Full CSS? - Decorative images in css? 3. Accessibility for users - Scalable Content? - Visible skip menus? - Accessible forms? - Accessible tables? - Sufficient colour brightness/contrasts? - Colour alone used for critical info? - Responsiveness for dropdown menus? - Descriptive links for blind users? (many others can be added here) 4. Accessibility for devices - Test across range of modern and older browsers - Without CSS? - Without images? - Without Javascript? - Text browser such as Lynx? - Print preview? - Hand Held devices - Detailed metadata? 5. Usability (probably the most important and may be outside the scope of this list) - Easy to understand navigation? - Consistent navigation through site? - Consistent language? (heaps of others could be added here, such as Neilson's ten basic guidelines) Would be good for the group to add/edit this list so that we could have a solid checklist - "WSG's things to check during development".
