What is a website launch checklist?
A website launch checklist is a list of checks to finish before a site goes public: content, forms, search engine settings, speed, accessibility and ownership of accounts. It catches small mistakes that are cheap to fix before launch and costly after.
Features
- 29 checks in six groups
- Progress saved on your device
- Written for owners, not only developers
How to use the website launch checklist
- Work through one group at a time.
- Tick each item only after testing it for real.
- Come back later; your ticks are remembered in this browser.
The three checks people skip most
- Send a real message through every form and confirm it lands in an inbox, not spam.
- Search for noindex in the page source of your home page. Staging sites often ship with it switched on.
- Put the domain, hosting and code accounts in the owner's name. Recovering them from a departed developer is slow.
Frequently asked questions
Is my progress shared with anyone?
No. Ticks are stored in your browser's local storage on this device only. Clear my progress removes them.
Do I need to complete every item?
Not all apply to every site. Treat each as a question: if it applies, test it.
