Website build: How to check
Each of these checks takes under ten minutes and needs no tool and no expertise. Do them yourself rather than reading about them in a report.
The checks, in order
01 Open the site on a phone in daylight
If you have to zoom to read, or buttons are hard to hit with a thumb, the site is not finished.
02 Submit a form and check where it goes
You should receive the message and be able to find it later. A form that says "thank you" but sends nothing is more common than you would expect.
03 Search your company name on Google
Two weeks after launch the site should appear when you search its exact name. If it does not, ask why.
04 Check whether the copy is about you
Read the home page and ask: could this sit on a competitor’s site with the name swapped? If yes, the copy was not written for you.
