Take a look at Yale's Web Style Manual it should prove to be a good 
starting point:

> Subject:       Guidelines for writing homepages

> We are in the process of putting together guidelines to use when writing
> homepages within our company.  We are not so much looking at details, as much
> as we are looking at the philisophical aspects of homepage construction.
> Things such as why do you want to construct a homepage, what should be included
> on it, what criteria should be set for adding a link, when do graphics enhance
> and when do they take away, etc.
> 
> Has anyone written such guidelines?  I have seen several examples included on
> university homepages, but they usually address standardization issues such as
> what graphics are required, common wording or headings, etc.
> 
> I would be particularly interested in hearing from corporate libraries.
