A Practical Website Launch Checklist
The pre-flight list we run before any site goes live. Use it on yours.
Launches fail on small things: a form no one tested, a phone number that is not tappable, a page that only looks right on the designer's monitor. This is the practical checklist we run before any TwinTech launch. It is yours to use.
Content. Every page proofread. No placeholder text anywhere. Names, phone numbers, and addresses correct and consistent. Every claim on the site true.
Functionality. Every link clicked. Every form submitted, and the submission actually received. Phone numbers tap-to-call on mobile. The 404 page exists and helps. The thank-you page works.
Responsive. Checked on a small phone, a large phone, a tablet, and a wide desktop. No horizontal scrolling. No text over images that becomes unreadable. Tap targets big enough for thumbs.
Accessibility. Navigate the whole site by keyboard. Focus visibly moves. Images have alt text. Headings are in order. Contrast passes. Motion respects reduced-motion settings.
Performance. Images sized and compressed. Fonts loading efficiently. No script errors in the console. The homepage loads fast on a mid-range phone over cellular, not just on office wifi.
SEO plumbing. Unique titles and descriptions on every page. Sitemap submitted. Robots file correct. Social sharing previews checked. Analytics receiving data.
Security and recovery. HTTPS enforced. Admin accounts minimal and strong. A backup taken and stored off the site, with a restore actually tested.
After launch. Watch analytics and form submissions for the first week; problems reveal themselves quickly when you are looking. Then schedule the first maintenance check before you forget.
A launch is not the finish line, but running this list is how you make sure it is at least a clean start.
