time for a brand. After all the hard work, you\u2019re excited to unveil the finished product; however, before you pop the champagne you have to ensure that your site is error free and functional.<\/p>\n<p>A quality website is all about the details. So, here are some web development tips and processes to ensure you&#8217;ve got everything prepared before the launch.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Have a checklist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are the designer, developer or content writer of this website, each of you have the role to check each every element of the site to avoid any glitches or errors. Launching a website can be exciting and at the same time a daunting task. So make sure you have a pre-launch checklist of the things to test thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the elements that needed to be included in the checklist:<\/p>\n<h3>1.

For the Web Designer:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Site speed<\/li>\n<li>Mobile friendliness<\/li>\n<li>Images<\/li>\n<li>Color and Fonts<\/li>\n<li>Navigation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3.For the Web Developer:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cross Browser &amp; Responsive Checks<\/li>\n<li>Live URLs<\/li>\n<li>Forms<\/li>\n<li>404 Pages<\/li>\n<li>Favicon<\/li>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>2. Test everything<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once your website has been built, the absolute first thing you must do is to go through each features and verify that everything is working well\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/visibleone.com\/blog\/technical-seo-boosting-visibility-and-conversions\/attachment\/responsive-web-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with all the different browsers and devices<\/a>.

Ensuring that your website has passed a complete test will help maintain and even enhance your reputation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Get people to check it over<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let your colleagues, client, your boss, or whoever the website owner and admin to look over the website and use it to test it for you before launch. Get their valued feedback to check for common bugs and take a look at things from a more examination of the website.<\/p>\n<p>Every\u00a0element of it will need to be checked for usability, visual appearance and readability. Get them to use the website and complete a few tasks that a user would come to your website to do such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calls-to-action<\/li>\n<li>Links<\/li>\n<li>Forms<\/li>\n<li>Maps<\/li>\n<li>Contact info<\/li>\n<li>Sidebars<\/li>\n<li>Social media<\/li>\n<li>Widgets<\/li>\n<li>Logins\/portals<\/li>\n<li>Logo<\/li>\n<li>Navigation bar<\/li>\n<li>Images<\/li>\n<li>Designs<\/li>\n<li>Text<\/li>\n<li>Header\/footer strips<\/li>\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This will not only help you to see any glitches but also to ensure that your design is easy to use. You don\u2019t want your user experience to be interrupted by broken links or forms that are not working if you can prevent it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Review changes before the launch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After all the tests are done, review the changes and take a detailed look at your website before applying all the changes.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5.
