Frequently asked questions

What is a website launch checklist?

A website launch checklist is a structured list of pre-launch tasks covering code QA, content review, SEO setup, design verification, and client walkthrough steps. It gives agencies a repeatable process for delivering sites - so nothing is missed, every deliverable is confirmed, and the client gets a professional handoff rather than a rushed go-live.

Do I need a different checklist for e-commerce sites?

Yes. E-commerce adds a full checkout flow test, payment processing verification, tax and shipping configuration, and returns policy verification on top of the standard pre-launch checks. A real test transaction - processed and refunded - is mandatory before launch. Skipping payment testing is one of the most common and costly launch mistakes.

How do I get client sign-off on a website?

Run a walkthrough call covering every page of the site, then send a short written approval request directly after. Get a reply in writing - email, signed PDF, or a structured approval in a client portal like Sagely. Verbal approval on a call is not sign-off. Without a written record, scope disputes after launch are almost impossible to resolve in the agency's favour.

What should be in a website handoff document?

A complete handoff document covers: login credentials for all accounts (hosting, domain, CMS, analytics, email), hosting and domain renewal dates, a list of third-party services and integrations with their costs, DNS records, maintenance recommendations, any known technical debt, and all transferred files including source files, brand assets, and software licences.
