Flipping the switch on a new website is exciting. The design looks fresh, the content is polished, and your brand finally feels represented online. But here’s the truth: launch day isn’t the finish line. It’s just the beginning.
Not to mention, a website is much like a garden; just because you've planted the flowers does not mean you stop taking care of it. You have to weed, water, fertilize, etc. A website is no different!
Monitor Performance
Once your site is live, you’ll want to keep an eye on how it’s performing. Use tools like Google Analytics and Search Console to track visitor behavior, keyword performance, and technical issues. Early monitoring helps you fix problems before they snowball.
Update Content Regularly
Search engines and users love fresh content. Keep your blog, events, or news section active. Update photos, add testimonials, or share case studies. A website that never changes quickly feels outdated, and rankings will slip.
Focus on SEO
SEO isn’t a one-time project. After launch, it’s time to optimize your meta tags, improve page speed, and continue building content around keywords your audience cares about. Even the best design won’t perform if no one can find you.
Promote The Heck Out of It
Don’t just sit back and wait for traffic. Announce your new site on social media, include the link in your email signature, and let existing customers know about new features or content. Driving initial traffic helps your site gain momentum.
Check Accessibility and Usability
Accessibility is critical for both compliance and user experience. Test your site with screen readers, check color contrast, and make sure forms are simple to use. A great site works for everyone, not just some users. The buzz words here are ADA and WCAG support!
Plan for Maintenance
Websites aren’t “set it and forget it.” Regular software updates, backups, and security patches keep your site safe and reliable. Small issues can become big problems if ignored.
