Launching a website? Excitement is high—but one missed step can lead to slow loading speeds, security risks, or even a Google rankings disaster. At TheDigiters, we’ve launched 100+ websites for clients, and we know exactly what separates a smooth launch from a chaotic one. Use this step-by-step checklist to ensure your website goes live flawlessly.

Pre-Launch Checklist: Don’t Skip These!

• Domain & Hosting Setup
• Buy a memorable domain (avoid hyphens/numbers).
• Choose fast, scalable hosting (we recommend Bluehost for startups).
• Set up DNS & SSL (HTTPS is a must for SEO & security).
• Design & Development
• Mobile-first design (Test on real devices, not just emulators).
• Speed optimization (Compress images, minify CSS/JS, enable caching).
• 404 page (Customize it—don’t let users hit a dead end).
• SEO & Content
• Keyword-optimized titles & meta descriptions.
• Alt text for all images (Boost accessibility & SEO).
• Schema markup (Help Google display rich snippets).
• Security & Backup
• Install a firewall (Cloudflare/Sucuri).
• Automate backups (Daily backups saved offsite).
• 2FA for admin logins (Stop brute-force attacks).

Launch Day: Final Checks

• Test EVERYTHING (Forms, payments, redirects).
• Submit to Google Search Console (Index your site fast).
• Announce on social media (Drive initial traffic).

Post-Launch: Keep Improving

• Monitor with Google Analytics (Track bounce rates & conversions).
• Fix bugs ASAP (Users will report them—listen!).
• Start blogging & backlinking (SEO is a marathon, not a sprint).
