    a theme page with options so that you dont have to chase the designer again and again.

    the theme option page should include
    no of sidebars
    width settings
    font, logo, header
    option to show thumbnail for excerpts
    show adsense after some post on homepage.

    there are many options you can ask for.

    Here are few:

    * Valid CSS/XHTML
    * Tableless
    * SEO friendly
    * Options page (optional. depending upon your requirement)

    Just explain the designer what you want clearly - what colors and images should (s)he use, etc.
