Does anyone have a good 'form' or 'checklist' for site reviewing?

I was thinking about making a standardized one and using it on site reviews. I looked around the web a bit, but didn't see any, so I started constructing my own. If anyone else has a good one or ideas to ad, I'd like to see it.

Here's what I have so far:

website garage?

websitegarage is great for the mechanicals, but I was more talking about the subjective part of a website critique, stuff a program cannot evaluate (yet).

I do use websitegarage though for checking my sites out when I can.
