A launch checklist reduces avoidable issues with navigation, content, security, forms, and search settings. Test the real production configuration before announcing the site. ## Step-by-step instructions 1. Proofread page content, prices, contact details, and legal notices. 2. Test navigation, forms, downloads, and primary actions. 3. Check mobile layouts, keyboard access, and image loading. 4. Confirm HTTPS, backups, software updates, and access permissions. 5. Check redirects, canonical tags, robots directives, and sitemap. 6. Monitor errors and key workflows after release. ## Final checks - Test the result in a realistic situation before relying on it. - Keep a note of any settings or decisions that need future review. - Recheck the process when your tools, hosting, or requirements change.
Practical implementation checklist
- Define the audience and the main action this page should support.
- Review navigation on desktop and mobile, then remove links that do not help visitors.
- Test important links, forms, phone numbers, and email addresses before publishing.
- Ask someone unfamiliar with the project to complete the main task and note where they hesitate.
