New Website Launch Services

What is it?

Launching a site isn’t just cutting over your domain to a new server or replacing all your old site files with new files.  There are a few additional things that need to be taken care of during this process.

Why should you care?

A website that does not go through a proper checklist of pre and post launch reviews can end up losing SEO value, directing visitors to broken or non existent pages, or functionality that worked in staging may break after launch (to name a few horror items).  You want to make sure that you get the full benefit of all the time and money that went into building a new website to ensure there are no problems when you send out your news blast.
