- use ALT tags
- use CSS over tables if you can
- try to keep links opening in the same window
- make sure you don't have any dead links
- don't use bad color combos such as light text on light or flashy colors
- do a spell check

You might try running the site through http://webxact.watchfire.com/ to see what issues it might have.

To quote the site, "WebXACT is a free online service that lets you test single pages of web content for quality, accessibility, and privacy issues.
