Checklist: 15 checks before your website goes live

This checklist covers the checks I run before every launch. It takes about an hour, on a computer and then on your phone.

Start with the “Content and copy” part: these are the mistakes your visitors notice first.

🎯 By the end, you will have : A website checked point by point, ready to show your clients without unpleasant surprises.

Content and copy

Read every page aloud to spot typos and sentences that are too long
Check that your home page says in one sentence what you do and for whom
Replace all placeholder text (“Lorem ipsum”, “Title here”)
Add a visible contact button on every page
Check that your prices and opening hours are up to date

Mobile and speed

Open every page on your phone and scroll to the bottom
Check that buttons are big enough to tap with a finger
Reduce the size of heavy images before uploading them
Test the display in a second browser
Check that the menu opens and closes properly on mobile

Contact and trust

Send yourself a message through your own contact form and check it arrives
Check that your email address and phone number are clickable
Publish your legal notice and privacy policy
Check that the padlock (https) shows in the address bar
Add your name or photo on the “About” page
