#Step-by-step process

1

Confirm client approval

Ensure the client approved the deliverable.
2

Final QA

Check content, links, and responsiveness.
3

Submit publish-live

Request live publishing through the approval gate.
4

Verify live

Confirm the site is live and correct.

#Decision points

Decisions to make along the way

  • Is everything approved and QA'd?
  • Any content still pending?

#Approval points

Human approval required

  • Live publishing requires a human publish-live approval.

#Success metrics

  • Zero post-launch emergencies
  • Client sign-off before launch

#Best practices

  • Never skip final QA.
  • Verify the live site after publishing.

#Common mistakes

  • Launching before client approval.
  • Not checking the live result.

#Realistic example

In practice

On launch day the lead confirms approval, runs final QA, submits the publish-live request, and verifies the live site — a calm, checklist-driven go-live.
