Website - Go-live checklist

  • Permissions on writable files and folders: /content /include/pri-nav.asp /include pri-nav.js - (add other usual suspects here)
  • 301 redirects from old page to new, pages without equivalent should issue a 404 create a new page via the admin, check it re-writes the nav
  • Check mobile site
  • Check styles of sub-pages for all available admin options, i.e. panels, bullet list, next/previous etc.
  • 404 page - check it issues a 404 response, and shows a suitable message
  • Contact forms - send one to yourself by changing the h_id and also submit one to the client asking for it to be forwarded to you. e.g. "Please forward this message to xxxxxxx@spiderscope.com to confirm its receipt" (don''t skip this!)
  • Run Xenu (http://www.xenu.com) and link check the site for broken links.
  • Backup and timestamp previous live folder. This backup file should be cleaned up and deleted if no problems occur after a week.
