Publishing your website is exciting—but rushing the final step can lead to broken links, poor SEO, and a frustrating experience for your visitors.
At V&V Web Designs, every Wix Studio project goes through a quality assurance process before it goes live. Here are 15 essential checks to make sure your website is ready for launch.
✅ 1. Check Mobile Responsiveness
Your website should look great on:
Desktop
Laptop
Tablet
Mobile
Review every breakpoint to ensure text, buttons, and images display correctly.
✅ 2. Test Every Button
Click every button to make sure it leads to the correct page or external link.
Don't forget:
Contact buttons
Social media icons
Navigation menu
Footer links
CTA buttons
✅ 3. Optimize Your SEO

Before publishing, confirm that every page has:
SEO title
Meta description
Clean URL slug
H1 heading
Image alt text
These small details can improve your visibility in search engines.
✅ 4. Compress Images
Large image files can slow down your website.
Use:
Optimized JPGs
PNGs only when transparency is needed
WebP when supported
Fast websites create a better user experience.
✅ 5. Review Typography
Check that:
Font sizes are consistent
Headings stand out
Paragraphs are easy to read
Line spacing feels comfortable
✅ 6. Proofread Every Page
Read your content carefully.
Look for:
Typos
Grammar mistakes
Broken formatting
Duplicate text
Placeholder content
Even small errors can reduce trust.
✅ 7. Test Contact Forms
Submit every form yourself.
Verify that:
The submission works
Email notifications arrive
Thank-you messages display correctly
✅ 8. Review Animations
Animations should enhance your website—not distract visitors.
Keep them:
Smooth
Consistent
Fast
Professional
Avoid animating every element.
✅ 9. Improve Page Speed
A fast website encourages visitors to stay longer.
Simple improvements include:
Removing unused sections
Optimizing images
Limiting heavy videos
Using clean layouts
✅ 10. Check Your Navigation
Visitors should reach any important page in just a few clicks.
Your menu should include:
Home
About
Services
Portfolio
Blog
Contact
✅ 11. Review Your Calls-to-Action
Every page should encourage visitors to take the next step.
Examples:
Request a Quote
Book a Consultation
Contact Us
View Portfolio
Make buttons clear and easy to find.
✅ 12. Test Your Website on Multiple Browsers
Open your website in:
Chrome
Safari
Edge
Firefox
A quick browser check helps catch display issues before launch.
✅ 13. Connect Analytics
Before publishing, make sure you've connected:
Google Analytics
Google Search Console
Meta Pixel (if you run ads)
This lets you measure traffic and understand how visitors use your site.
✅ 14. Add Trust Signals
Help visitors feel confident by including:
Client testimonials
Reviews
Certifications
Awards
Case studies
Contact details
These elements can increase credibility and conversions.
✅ 15. Do One Final Walkthrough
Open your website as if you're a first-time visitor.
Ask yourself:
Is it easy to navigate?
Does it load quickly?
Is the design consistent?
Can I quickly understand what the business offers?
Is it easy to get in touch?
A fresh review often catches the small details that automated checks miss.
Why This Checklist Matters
Many websites go live with avoidable issues—broken links, missing SEO settings, forms that don't work, or layouts that break on mobile.
Taking a little extra time before publishing can improve user experience, search visibility, and first impressions.
