Don't Launch on Vibes
A website launch has a lot of moving parts. A simple checklist turns a stressful scramble into a calm, confident go-live.
Content and Design
- Proofread every page — typos undercut trust
- Check all images load and are properly sized
- Confirm branding and contact details are consistent
Technical
- Test every link and form, on mobile and desktop
- Confirm HTTPS is active and the padlock shows
- Check page speed and fix the worst offenders
- Set up redirects if you're replacing an old site
SEO and Analytics
- Add page titles and meta descriptions
- Submit your sitemap to Search Console
- Confirm analytics and goal tracking work
- Make sure the site isn't accidentally blocked from indexing
After Launch
Watch analytics and Search Console for the first week, ask a few people to try the site, and fix anything that surfaces quickly. Launch is the start of improving, not the end.
