What are your essential checklists for launching a new website?

Your technical checklist looks robust! I work with AWS infrastructure, and I could help with setup if you're looking for assistance. Just hit me up anytime!

It sounds like you've got a great start! Just to add, from my experience working in various agencies, I've noticed most have their own version of a launch checklist. You might want to include a web manifest file, a favicon, and icons for 'add to home screen'. Also, schema data can be super important, especially if you're looking for multi-language support with hreflang tags. Don't forget accessibility features like ARIA attributes too! By the way, there's also something new called the llms.txt file that's gaining traction for LLM crawlers — not mainstream yet, but worth checking out.

And hey, for when you do launch, don't forget to have a bottle of something nice waiting to celebrate at 5PM on a Friday! It’s a great way to kick back after all the hard work.

Are you launching an e-commerce website? If so, you might want to consider some additional factors specific to that type of site, like payment processing security and customer account management.

Another essential I think you should add is user-friendly error pages to enhance user experience, like custom 404 and 500 pages. They can really make a difference when things go wrong.
