Pushing a new website live is one of the most critical milestones for any business. It represents months of strategy, design iterations, content drafting, and engineering.
However, without a rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) launch protocol, go-live day can quickly transform into a nightmare of broken links, indexing drops, lost form submissions, and security vulnerabilities.
