Build a website release checklist

Turn a reviewed preview into a deliberate public release with clear version, configuration, and journey checks.

2 min read4 practical steps

An original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.

Identify the release artifact

Record the exact content or software version and its approved scope. Check that required assets and configuration belong to the intended environment.

Confirm launch dependencies

Review public URLs, DNS where relevant, HTTPS, integration settings, and account access. Assign ownership for each dependent action.

Verify the deployed result

Inspect representative routes, assets, navigation, forms, and other critical workflows through the public address after deployment.

Record recovery and follow-up

Keep the previous deployable state where supported and explain how changing data is handled. Assign early monitoring and issue triage.

Worked scenario

See the plan in practice.

The preview uses a test form destination. The release checklist explicitly verifies the public recipient instead of assuming deployment changed it automatically.

Review your result

Your acceptance checklist

  • Version identified
  • Configuration checked
