Website Launch Checklist
A pre-launch checklist for forms, mobile layout, SEO basics, analytics, redirects, legal pages, performance, and final review.
Direct answer: what is a website launch checklist?
A website launch checklist is a final review workflow that confirms pages, copy, forms, mobile layouts, metadata, analytics, redirects, legal pages, performance, and backup plans before a new or redesigned website goes live.
Review content before technical launch
Confirm that homepage copy, service pages, about page, contact page, FAQs, images, testimonials, and CTAs are accurate. The technical launch is not the moment to discover missing copy or outdated business details.
Check SEO and crawlability basics
Every important public page should have a unique title, meta description, one H1, descriptive internal links, indexable content, and no accidental robots block. Submit sitemaps and confirm important pages are discoverable from navigation or resource hubs.
Test the conversion path
Run through every CTA, form, phone link, email link, checkout path, signup path, calendar link, and thank-you page. A beautiful website with a broken contact form is not ready to launch.
