Looking to hire a web development company for your upcoming project? This checklist of web development will help you understand the key aspects of launching your website.

It’s a moment of joy to launch your website after all the hard work & effort made by you and your web developer.

But before you finally launch your website, you must go through a few important checklists in order to ensure that you get your desired website.

In the absence of proper website testing, things may not work out.

 For instance, your website may have several broken links or incorrect content that will not only turn away your users but can also damage your business reputation.

In this blog post, we have shared 15 web development checklists that you or your website builder must follow before launching the website.

1. SSL (FOR SECURITY)

SSL (secured socket layer) is the most important thing that you need for your website.

If your website collects information like personal details, credit card and banking details from the users, then you should surely have an SSL Certificate for your website.

2. ANTI-MALWARE PLUGIN (FOR SECURITY)

Just like your laptop or computer needs antivirus software to stay away from viruses and malware infections, your website also requires security from all the malware threats.

Before you hire any website developer, you must ensure whether he protects your website from viruses and malware.

3. CONTENT CHECK (FOR READABILITY)

Have you double-checked your content before publishing it on your website? Because this is very important.

Yes, before launching your website live, check your contents for all the possible errors it may have like spelling mistakes, grammar issues etc.

4. IMAGE CHECK (FOR PERFORMANCE)

Have you checked How images have been used on your website? Are they able to load fast or need optimization in their file size?

If you find that the images on your website look blurring or taking forever time to load, you can ask your web developer to fix this issue immediately.

Image optimization will help your website to have high user-retention and also will improve your search engine rankings.

5. UX CHECK (FOR DESIGN)

Before you launch your website live for the public, you have to compare your website and check whether it is finalized in UX designs that your web designer created as per your wish.

6. RESPONSIVENESS (FOR DESIGN)

If you really want to attract a wide audience, your website should be optimised for all desktops, laptops, mobiles and tablets.

If your website is not responding, then your users will quit visiting your website.

7. FONTS & TYPOGRAPHY (FOR READABILITY)

Make sure that the content of your website is readable & easy-to-Scan? If not, then you must ask your web developer to make the adjustments in the font style.

The readability of a website plays an important role in the user retention rate & overall conversions.

8. BROWSER COMPATIBILITY (FOR PERFORMANCE)

How does your website look on different browsers? Always check the performance & rendering of your website on the major browsers like Chrome, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Safari and Opera.

9. LOADING SPEED (FOR PERFORMANCE)

How much time does your website take to load on any browser?

Is it taking more than 4 seconds, and then it will affect your viewership badly.

Are you running an ecommerce business with a slow loading speed? Then it can affect your overall sales & revenue majorly.

The loading time of a website must be considered and must be fixed by your web designer, if required.   

10. CACHING (FOR PERFORMANCE)

Caching helps to optimize the website’s speed and reduce loading on the server by minimizing the time-consuming scripts such as CSS & JavaScript.

The caching of your website should always be turned on.

If your web developer is using WordPress to build your website, then it’s easy to install a cache plugin such as “W3 Total Cache” to improve your website performance.

11. BROKEN LINKS (FOR USER-EXPERIENCE)

Broken links are the links that will show error upon click. In other words, when you click any link and it shows a “page not found” error, it is a broken link.

Broken links can affect your website in 2 major ways:

•       They can affect the user-experience and high bounce rate.
•       Broken links can also affect your website SEO score.

Always ensure that your website doesn’t have broken links.
