Checklists
Pre-Launch Website QA Checklist
A focused launch checklist for reviewing responsive layout, links, forms, accessibility basics, performance signals, and WordPress content settings.
This checklist gives a launch team a shared review path before a WordPress site goes live, with attention on the issues most likely to affect visitors immediately.
Use this when
- A site is moving from staging to production.
- Content, templates, and forms have all changed during final revisions.
- The team needs a practical QA pass that is broader than proofreading.
Launch checklist
- Review primary navigation, footer links, buttons, and inline links.
- Submit every form and confirm notification routing.
- Check key pages at mobile, tablet, and desktop widths.
- Confirm headings, alt text, labels, and visible focus states.
- Review SEO titles, meta descriptions, redirects, and analytics basics.
- Confirm production URLs, favicons, and site identity settings.
- Check that no local development URLs remain in content or templates.
Content review
- Confirm final copy is approved.
- Check dates, contact details, addresses, and service areas.
- Review featured images and image crops.
- Check excerpts, card text, and related content areas.
- Confirm hidden or draft pages are not linked from public navigation.
Issue tracking
- Record the page, viewport, browser, and expected behavior.
- Separate launch blockers from polish items.
- Assign ownership for each issue.
- Re-test fixed items before launch approval.
Quality check
- Do one final pass while logged out.
- Review the site on a real phone if possible.
- Keep a post-launch follow-up list for non-blocking improvements.
