What's inside
Here's what the website launch checklist covers:
- • Content and copy proofread
- • SEO basics (titles, meta, schema, sitemap)
- • Analytics setup
- • Form testing across devices
- • Redirects from old site
- • SSL and security headers
- • Performance (Core Web Vitals)
- • Accessibility basics
- • Legal pages (privacy, cookies, terms)
- • Backup and hosting confirmed

The 'we'll fix it after launch' trap
Every skipped launch check turns into a bigger job later. Missing redirects tank your SEO. Missing analytics means you can't prove ROI on the whole project. Missing legal pages open you up to ICO complaints.
The checklist takes 30 minutes to run through and prevents a month of firefighting.

Common questions
Who owns launch checks — me or the designer?
Both. Designer covers technical (redirects, SSL, analytics, speed). You cover content (proofread, brand accuracy, form testing on your devices, legal review).
