Pre Launch Checklist For Every Web Development Team

If your web development team thinks that they’re ready to make the website they have been working on for the past few weeks live, they should take a look at this checklist to make sure that they have taken absolutely everything into account first. There is nothing worse than making a website live only to realize that some vital component has been forgotten.

• Do each of the pages have unique and relevant titles?
• Have you created some custom error pages (in case a page is deleted or a user types in a similar but wrong address)?
• Does the website look the same in all browsers?
• Has someone proofread all of the content, looking for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors? The web development team doesn’t have to do this, but someone else certainly does.
• Does the website load quickly and have all images or graphics been properly optimised?
• Do all of the links function properly?
• Is the website navigation in a prominent spot and is it user friendly?
• Have you added meta tags (including keywords and descriptions) to each of the pages?
• Has the relevant contact information been added?

Whilst this is by no means the only points that should be covered before a website can be made live, they are the points that many people tend to forget or overlook. By making sure that your web development team uses the above checklist, you can minimise the chances of your launch becoming one big disaster and ensure that it is a success.
