The Ultimate Website Launch Checklist
Posted by Dan Zambonini on 17th Feb 2009
We’re developing a checklist that all websites should be checked against before launch. Let us know if we’ve missed something out, or if something needs further clarification. Some well-known and well-documented tasks (such as validation and accessibility testing) are not explained in detail. Add your suggestions in the comments.
Updated 17 Feb '09, 15:21 Added notifications (@keeran), Hidden copy (@jennybee) and Test search (@bwass).
Updated 18 Feb '09, 17:18 Added testing of backup (Edinburger), Google Webmaster Console (josefresco and Mark Alves), External monitoring and internal logging (Fernando and Karan Bhangui), and Consistent lists and UK/US spelling (Pierre Far).
Updated 23 Feb '09, 10:16 Added PDF version.
Updated 7 Apr '09, 10:20 Added link to French translation.

Keeran said on 17th Feb 2009
Great list Dan, thanks! I think the only things I'd add would be SMS/email alerts for exception notifications and server monitoring. K
Carl Morris said on 17th Feb 2009
Unique title tags for each page... Partly for deep SEO. And partly because I just favourited this on Delicious and it didn't automatically have the title of your post! Thanks - very useful.
Dan Zambonini said on 17th Feb 2009
@Carl Morris - Argh, can't believe these posts don't have unique titles! They should have; will get that fixed asap. @Keeran Ta, will definitely add that, and sort out the URL issue...
Alex said on 18th Feb 2009
You don't really need to submit to search engines - they will find you thru the link. And never pay to have your site submitted to "1000 search engines"
Pierre Far said on 18th Feb 2009
For consistency: 1. Full stops (periods) at the end of list items. 2. UK/US spelling for English. Also, make sure there is a copyright statement in the footer, with the correct year (I still see copyright statements for 2008.) Pierre
Karan Bhangui said on 18th Feb 2009
I think a good addition would be "Set up detailed server logging at all points of failure (database, web server, etc)". I think it's a very important think in case something goes wrong live, if you haven't already done so during production. It's also a nice complement to front-end analytics (as already listed)
Fernando said on 18th Feb 2009
An "Availability" section: - Set up external web site monitoring (uptime)? - Set up an internal measuring tool too (cacti, nagios, monit etc) not only for alerts but to get some graphs for better optimization
Mark Alves said on 18th Feb 2009
Validate your site in Google Webmaster Tools. This includes running diagnostics, turning on enhanced image search, verifying any Google sitelinks and confirming your sitemaps status.
Dan Zambonini said on 18th Feb 2009
Thanks all for more great suggestions; I'll wait until the initial Hacker News traffic has calmed, then aggregate the suggestions and update the list. Keep them coming!
Simon said on 18th Feb 2009
I would add checking your contact form works. We just moved servers and it took us a couple of days to realise we didn't update the mail settings!
Leroy Fernandes said on 18th Feb 2009

Dan Zambonini said on 18th Feb 2009
Carlos Kirkconnell: I kind-of agree (we still have a list of about 30 items left to 'refine' for this website which we launched last week), but I'm personally all-for obsessing over every detail. Jonathan Ive is known for 'obsessive passion ... about attention to detail' (http://www.jonathanive.com/biography/), and I know whose products I prefer between Apple and 37S.
Kweek said on 18th Feb 2009
Great list! Maybe you can add a .PDF version?
Jason Bartholme said on 18th Feb 2009
Great... Could have used this last week. Oh, well. I have it now for future projects. It is truly a great list, especially for team projects.
alexvega said on 18th Feb 2009
Thanks to creators and contributors. I made it into a Google Docs: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ajjgrhjmhnt4_135dk27bcfj You can download a PDF version, print or whatever from there.
Dan Zambonini said on 18th Feb 2009
Thanks all. Wow, loving the Google Docs version! Will possibly do another update tomorrow depending on number of new suggestions. (PS This is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/)
k srivatsa iyengar said on 19th Feb 2009
hi there are, to my mind, many more points to be covered in the check list.. off hand i'm listing just a few which i comes to mind now.. ( based upon my own experience in a corporate ): 1. arrangements with the service provider..be it your own leased line or hosted server.. security of the server, the possibility of running applications on the server ( database access, mailing lists, newsletters etc.etc.) 2. the arrangements for any payment gateways, their terms and handling of sales etc. 3. organising for updating the content from time to time 4. organising and setting up standards for handling the visitors emails and complaints of non working of certain functions 5. payment gateway arrangements ( where applicable ) regarding security, ssl digital signatures etc.. 6. whether the site should be in other languages, if so the managing of the fonts etc.,
ricardoe said on 19th Feb 2009
I hope this doesn't bother you: http://www.sharefile.org/showfile-745/weblistlaunch.pdf Its a PDF version.
Mike said on 19th Feb 2009
Just sent your post around the office - as an SEO guy I'll expand upon the bit about search engines but I think the idea is great.
Daniel said on 19th Feb 2009
Nice check list, and one I'll get our team to refer to. Just wanted to echo a previous comment that there's no need (or benefit) from submitting your site to search engines any more. Just get some other sites to link to it and the search engines will find it in days (if not hours). I'd add a post-launch/marketing point to include a linking strategy - especially if you want to rank strongly on Google.
Bassy said on 19th Feb 2009
Thanks . its very nice list.i gonna use this.
Wiktor said on 19th Feb 2009
Great stuff. For those familiar with git/github, here is a forkable version: http://github.com/netguru/checklist
Dave Quested said on 20th Feb 2009
Great list Dan, some additions: 1. Configure Windows Live Webmaster Tools 2. Submit the Sitemap you've created (Google/Yahoo/Windows Live/Ask)
Ryan Roberts said on 20th Feb 2009
Good idea. Dan I can email you a checklist I use if you want? It's relatively extensive and based on checklists gathered by other web designers. If you are then let me know if I should use the main contact form or a specific email.
Dan Zambonini said on 20th Feb 2009
Ryan, that would be amazing, thank you! My name is 'dan' and I work '@' 'boxuk.com', so if you add those together you should get my email address... Thanks!
Nick said on 20th Feb 2009
Wow, great list! I've bookmarked this for future reference and all other webmasters should!
tommythewolfboy said on 20th Feb 2009
If this is supposed to be an 'ultimate' list should it not break out points like Accessibility into relevant checks? You certainly go down to this level for SEO etc.
Prashant said on 20th Feb 2009
before beginning, there could be a couple of points regarding hosting details, files/folders that have read-write access, etc.
B Moore said on 22nd Feb 2009
Thank you for making this list!
Anthony Sutton said on 22nd Feb 2009
What an awesome list - you should get a PDF version online before others steal it. Also, you have great website - illustrations are beautiful.
Malcolm said on 22nd Feb 2009
Cool This is an amazing compilation. Many Thanks :)
Spider said on 22nd Feb 2009

Thanks all. We'll be uploading a PDF later this afternoon; in the meantime you can get it on Scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/12692424/The-Ultimate-Website-Launch-Checklist I'll also update the checklist later this week with any new suggestions.
Mike Archibald said on 23rd Feb 2009
Handy list. Can't say I do everyone when I launch a website, but I try to do most!
francis_dierick said on 24th Feb 2009
Should 'Check in text-based browser (e.g. Lynx)' be added to the Ultimate Website Launch Checklist? Why? It's a great and simple accessibility check. Plus, it uncovers tabbing problems for people who like to keyboard-browse your site.
Monika said on 24th Feb 2009
Hi Dan great list, i would like to include one more point to the list which is checking browser compatibilty and internal linking of all pages so that they can get crawled easily.
Abhinav Gulyani said on 24th Feb 2009
Thanks an awesome list. Really useful.
Heidi Cool said on 25th Feb 2009
Nice list. I particularly like that you focus on content first (so many people seem to forget that.) When possible I'd set up things like Google Analytics and search engine submissions as early as possible. (1-2 weeks pre-launch) If using a testing server during pre-launch this isn't doable, but for new sites/domains that can publish pre-launch it can give you a leg up. I recently did this with a new site and found it helpful that Google had indexed the pages by the time I announced the launch. That said, obviously this can't be done until you have a preponderance of pages created, and can't be done if you need to keep site secret until the launch, but it's nice to get a bit of a head start.
Kevin Hemsworth said on 26th Feb 2009
Great list. Didn't read all the comments to know if anyone's suggested adding checking DNS records (mail forwarding, etc.) when moving to a new host environment, but it's not so great when you hit the switch and your client loses their email access!"But look how great your new site looks!" never seems to go over particularly well in those instances.
facundo said on 26th Feb 2009
great list guys! besides validation, i would pay attention to the site being viewable in Chrome too. it's happened to us recently
merzmarkus@goglemail.com said on 27th Feb 2009
I miss 'user tests' and in this context ongoing 'navigation tests'. Another point is 'check landing pages' if affiliate programs or AdWord programs are used to promote the site. Very useful list. Bookmarked and posted to my site.
Anne said on 1st Mar 2009
This is a thorough list, excellent! Thanks.
Lachelle T. said on 3rd Mar 2009
Excellent list! Too often we have most of these "To-Do" items in our heads but there's no way to get to all of them and more without a checklist such as this. Will definitely be utilizing this for all my future projects.
Greg said on 6th Mar 2009
Great list. How about testing your 'web2.0 and social networking features'. I.e. 'user generated content', 'social bookmarks', 'widgets', 'shared/posted links', 'user account set-up/settings', esp. OpenID/Facebook Connect, 'management & admin systems', 'mashup performance', 'embeded content', e.g. YouTube Videos, etc.
Stu Collett said on 10th Mar 2009
Love this list. Great work guys! Stu.
Eva johnson said on 27th Mar 2009
ok, what do you charge for checking a particlar website before louncing on internet.... Regards Eva
mathew llewellyn said on 2nd Apr 2009
I guess your handling 'usability' outside of this model. I don’t think anyone has mentioned functional testing for internal network sites/applications Make sure you test your site/application across the same environment that your customer’s workforce(s) is/are using. Thin client based Citrix environments throw up all sorts of problems outside of standard accessibility testing. Have fun with lists ... Nice to see people working together!
Adrian said on 8th Apr 2009
Thanks for the list. this is great.
Michael Müller said on 8th Apr 2009

Joni Mueller said on 14th Apr 2009
And this checklist would also make a very good addition to any checklists or milestones you have created within your preferred Project Management system too. I plan to implement huge chunks of it in my boilerplate web site project template in activeCollab. :)
Gustavo Ballve said on 14th Apr 2009
Thanks a LOT!
EmmaB said on 23rd Apr 2009
I was wondering if this could be formatted into an Excel checklist? Of course, only if you have the time.
Biggs said on 30th Apr 2009
@EmmaB - You can save this page in your browser as html and open it up in excel. You'll have to do a tiny bit of cleanup, but the list is there.
Great list by the way, Dan. I've been thinking of how I can incorporate it to my workflow. Not as a piece of paper on my desk, iykwim.
Richard said on 13th May 2009
I wish I had access to such good info when starting out our website. We learned as we went along and cut some corners which were tough to get back around. Nice list.
David Radovanovic said on 27th May 2009
Thanks for the great post. It would be great if there were links with the associated list items to either pages with more info or hints. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Noah said on 2nd Jun 2009
That is a great checklist indeed.
Under marketing, I'd add 'create an XML site map' and replace 'submit to search engines' with 'begin link building process.'
Doing the social marketing you mention and/or link building will get the site indexed in every search engine, so submitting is not necessary.
Brian McManus said on 29th Jun 2009
Hi Dan, that's a really great list. I wondered if you might consider adding a link to my new website, launchly. Launchly is all about getting new websites the feedback they need to succeed and I would love to see it included as an optional step in the launch process!

tocoa.net said on 1st Sep 2009
Good checklist, will use it for my website if the time has come. One small addition to the Security/Risk section should be to check the access rights to the folder/files and to tighten them as much as possible (that is: restrict access to outsiders).
Jay - Work At Home Blogger said on 7th Sep 2009
The post you made and the list is awesome. Screen resolution is a must!
April said on 7th Oct 2009
Thanks very much for this checklist. I had no idea there were so many different things to look at. I guess you only have one chance to make a first impression so it's worth taking the time from the beginning.
Bill Gassett said on 10th Oct 2009
This is quite a comprehensive list. I like the fact that you mention some of the things you are doing to get the site noticed by the search engines. Having great content and good design of course is very important. I would put having an online presence as the next item of importance on the list.
Peter Lancaster said on 12th Oct 2009
Everyone absolutely need to follow a list like this when thinking about what their website will be like. Too many time we get caught up in how t will look and what bells and whistles it will have to impress people and show how clever we are. Remember that a website is there for a reason other than to boost your ego. If you want it to do the job you intend it to do successfully do the homework and follow a guideline like this one. It saves a whole lot of work later. Best to do it all first and spend extra time than tear it all down and do it over.

good list! is the pdf version already available??
Dwayne said on 4th Dec 2009
Thanx so much, I was doing like 3 projects and got overwhlemed and this list helped me a lot, i tried coming up with one my self then i decided to get one in the rush of time. GREAT. Also remember to check your server limitations, so that u don't run out of allotments such as: max number of database connections and so on. Remember to secure your secret scripts that u use to either monitor or administer ur site! Login area sometimes is not enuff to protect, use a specific URL and only access it fr ur PC or u can remove or change it if u access it elsewhere.
My new site is: http://www.linkshares.net/

prakash said on 14th Dec 2009
I’d been taught that left-aligned labels are preferred, to support the prototypical F-shaped eye-tracking heatmap of web browsing. The idea is that it supports easy vertical scanning.
But this study revealed this to be incorrect!
IT solution
Steve said on 4th Jan 2010
What about a comms (communications) strategy?
Probably not a concern for small sites, but a must for larger, very public sites like Banks etc who need to pre-warn customers their site is changing (so it doesn't look like the sites been hijacked on launch). Therefore, I recommend a complete comms strategy at least 2 months prior to launch for larger corporate sites. This would slot in around 'performance' entry in the above timeline.
Neil Webster said on 5th Jan 2010
Great List. A bit short on detail with the performance and load testing. I'd add test performance from major centres. Stress test including leaving sessions open, rapid refresh etc.

Affiliate Marketing is a performance based sales technique used by companies to expand their reach into the internet at low costs. This commission based program allows affiliate marketers to place ads on their websites or other advertising efforts such as email distribution in exchange for payment of a small commission when a sale results.

We do not have a really complicated site, it just shows our foot care services and a little bit about why be believe pedicures are very important for health so some of the things in your list like optimizing code are a bit beyond me but I will try and check off as many of the boxes as i can while i go along.

a great, comprehensive list for the development of a site. I tend to subscribe to the idea that this is an ongoing process during development, but still incredibly beneficial even if you can only do it once pre-launch. I do much of this now, but it's very valuable to have a list to reference in the heat of it all. Thanks!!

I appreciate your post. I also wrote that SMS advertising provides a cost effective method of targeting promotions to specific customer profiles. You might want to remind customers of specific events or promotions, but for whatever reasons, SMS allows you to pass information directly to the right customer at very affordable prices and fast delivery.
