Everything a launch checklist gets wrong when it's too short.
Eight guides, one per part of the LaunchGraded Standard — why each area matters, the mistakes we see most, and how to check it yourself before you spend a scan on it.
How to write a homepage headline and sub-headline that actually says what your product does, why it matters, and who it's for — before you launch.
A pre-launch checklist for primary calls to action, pricing visibility and secondary opt-ins — the three things that turn a visit into a lead.
What makes a first-time visitor believe a website is real: social proof, legal pages, a working contact path and visible freshness — checked before launch.
The three mobile UX basics that break launches most often — a missing viewport tag, tap targets too small to hit, and body text too small to read.
The technical SEO basics to confirm before you send traffic — indexability, title tags, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, sitemap and robots.txt.
How to check your Lighthouse performance score, Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift before launch, and what actually moves them.
A practical pre-launch accessibility pass: Lighthouse a11y score, image alt text, form labels, page language and colour contrast, explained plainly.
HTTPS, security headers, console errors and a real 404 page, plus the structured data and AI-crawler basics search engines and AI answers now expect.
