Ready to Launch Your Website? Don't Miss These Essential Steps

Written By Courtney

Are you getting ready to launch your website? Before you hit that publish button, it's important to make sure that your website is in tip-top shape. A pre-website go live checklist can help ensure that your website is ready to go live and presents your business in the best possible light.

Here are some key items to check off your pre-website go live checklist:

  1. Content review: Review all your website's content, including text, images, and videos, to ensure that it is high-quality and free of errors. Make sure all links work and that there are no broken pages.

  2. Mobile optimization: Test your website's mobile responsiveness to ensure that it looks great and functions properly on mobile devices. More and more people are browsing the internet on their mobile devices, so this step is crucial.

  3. Browser compatibility: Make sure your website looks and functions well across different browsers. Test your website in popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to ensure that it is accessible to everyone.

  4. Speed test: Use a website speed test tool to check the load time of your website. Slow load times can deter visitors and hurt your search engine ranking.

  5. SEO check: Optimize your website for search engines by reviewing your meta titles, descriptions, and keywords. Ensure that your website is structured in a way that is easily crawlable by search engines.

If your website is built on Squarespace, here are some additional items to check:

  • Check that your site's pages have unique titles and descriptions, which can be edited under the Page Settings.

  • Review your website's Style Editor to ensure that your fonts, colors, and styles are consistent throughout the website.

  • Ensure that all of your images have alt tags by clicking on each image and adding the alt text under the 'Design' tab.
