Website Launch Checklist

Use this checklist to confirm your website is live, secure, and ready for visitors. Check off each item as you go.
Check items to see your progress.
Quick tip: open your website in a private window (incognito) to see what a first-time visitor sees.

1) Basics

More details
If your site still shows a placeholder page, your domain may not be pointing correctly yet or WordPress may be installed in a subfolder. If you want, open a ticket and we can confirm DNS and the correct document root.

2) Must-have pages

If this is a business site, adding a Privacy Policy is strongly recommended, especially if you use contact forms, analytics, or email marketing.

3) WordPress speed and security

More details
Keep plugin count lean. Remove anything you are not using. One performance plugin and one security plugin is typically enough for most sites.

4) Contact and email

Test your contact form by sending a message to yourself. Confirm it arrives and that reply-to works correctly.

5) Final polish

Quick win
Read your homepage out loud once. It is the fastest way to catch wording issues and awkward phrases.

6) Search and tracking (optional)

You can launch without advanced SEO. The goal is to get your site live and improving, not perfect.
