Website Checklist - 100 Things To Do Before Launch

It’s weird to realize I’ve been designing websites for over 20 years. In that time, I’ve used always had a go-to website checklist to keep track of all the todos and tasks. I’m going to start tracking my website checklist and modifying it in public. The checklist will change over time, and it will be interesting to see how it evolves.

In the future, I’ll post some other checklists I’ve got related to designing, prototyping, coding, and testing. For now, this first website checklist is a final sanity check. Whatever website building process you use should have already addressed all the items on the checklist, but just in case, use it as the last step.

There is a mix of granularity. Some nitty-gritty, so thirty thousand foot level. A plan is to break down the high-level tasks into smaller individual tasks.

Remember, not every item applies to every site. Prune and append as needed.
