===============
I would add consistent navigation throughout the site NOT just on
your home page.
Search function especially if it is a large site.
Site Map
Images optimized for fast loading which means resizing your images
in a graphics editor rather than using the html code.

Music
Tables that are too large and take forever to load
Too busy background that makes it difficult to read to content
Font size that is so small it is impossible to read
All centered text

Good topic.
