Why use a pre-launch checklist?

Most website mistakes aren't discovered in the build — they're discovered after launch, when real visitors run into them. A broken contact form, missing SSL, or a forgotten privacy policy can cost you credibility the moment someone lands on your site.

This checklist covers the 18 most common issues people miss before going live: from content gaps and broken links to missing analytics and SEO fundamentals. Work through it once before you publish, and you'll save yourself hours of firefighting later.
