Launch Readiness Checklist
Final verification sweep before shipping to production.
Check
Verify all of: (1) favicon present and correct, (2) page titles and meta descriptions set, (3) 404 page designed, (4) error pages designed (500, offline), (5) no console errors in production build, (6) all external links open in new tab with rel="noopener", (7) forms have success and error states, (8) all images have alt text, (9) no placeholder copy (Lorem ipsum), (10) privacy policy and terms links present if required.
Why This Matters
Launch checklists exist because individual items are easy to miss under deadline pressure. A single missing favicon or an undesigned 404 page signals "unfinished" to users and damages trust disproportionately to the effort required to fix.

How to Verify
Run through each item in the list on a production build. Assign a separate reviewer — the person who built it will overlook their own gaps.
