Website prep for Irish businesses
Website launch checklist
Domains, access, content, legal basics and launch scope
A practical prep list before a new site or rebuild. Use it to gather domains, access, content and legal basics, then send it with your free review if you want me to quote the work.
Before build starts
- Domain registered (or name chosen for a .ie / .com)
- Logo, brand colours and at least basic photos
- List of services, areas covered and contact methods
- Existing site URL and analytics access (if any)
- Who approves copy and who pays invoices
Access & security
- Share passwords via a password manager or one-time secret link — not email
- Create a separate login for me where possible; revoke when done
- You enter card details directly on host/registrar portals
- API keys (Stripe, email, maps) are for integration — still keep them private
Technical setup
- Hosting and SSL (HTTPS) on every public page
- Professional email on your domain or working Gmail/Outlook
- Google Analytics + Search Console on launch
- Backups and update plan (Website Care from €45/month if you want me to handle it)
Legal & compliance
- Privacy policy and cookie notice if you track visitors
- Clear business identity on contact/footer pages
- Terms for online sales or bookings if you take money on-site
- Accessibility baseline (contrast, labels, keyboard focus) — see accessibility audit
