Module 7 — Step 2

Practical Steps to Finalise Your Site

How you check your site is launch-ready?

Some Key Points

  • Inspect with Fresh Eyes: Either inspect the site yourself or enlist someone else for a fresh perspective. The latter is more effective for catching overlooked mistakes.
  • Check Key Elements: Review spelling and grammar, user interaction and intuitiveness, working links, and ensure all planned elements and functionalities are included.
  • Use Tools for Accuracy: Tools like Grammarly can help check text, while manual inspection ensures all elements are working correctly.
  • Allow Time Between Sessions: Leave 1-3 days between designing and inspecting to gain a fresher perspective.
  • Enlist Help with Clear Instructions: Provide clear instructions to others on what to check and how to report issues, possibly by recording their interaction with the site for detailed feedback.

What should you do before your next live session?

  1. Go through your site and check if you have added all the necessary pages, information, and tools to facilitate the necessary transactions
  2. Watch someone else use the site and adjust things if they are confused by anything
  3. Ask someone else to check for grammar and spelling or check all the text using a tool like Grammarly ensuring their aren’t any errors
