Is the website ready for launch?
July 20, 2011Andy Wickes, over at Boagworld, has written a nifty list of things to check prior to the website you’ve been working on for weeks or months ‘going live’.
His extensive checklist is sorted into these categories:
- Copy (this is where a good editor — preferably one who is external to the project — is worth their weight in gold as they’ll see things that you can never see because you’re too close to the content)
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Standards and validation
- Site functions
- Security
- Performance
- Legal
- Icons and error pages
You can read all the details, with specific checks for each category, here: http://boagworld.com/business-strategy/pre-launch-checklist/
