Jakob Nielsen has a nice checklist of oldies but goodies to get you started. They're mostly common sense, but things you may not think to evaluate, starting from the front page of a site.

Hi Matthew,
see -- always by Usability.gov -- these research-based heuristics:
http://www.usability.gov/guidelines/index.html 

Moreover you can find other stuff here:
http://delicious.com/luca.rosati/heuristics 

Useful books are:
* Krug, Don't make me think
* Norman, The design of everyday things
(Norman's book refers above all to everyday things, but I've often  
used its principles for the web -- they are universal).


Cheers
Luca
