Before any website we build in Kathmandu, Nepal goes live, it passes through a fixed checklist, because launch-day mistakes are disproportionately expensive to fix after real traffic and real customers start arriving.

Technical items come first: SSL is active, all forms submit and notify the right inbox, payment gateways are switched from sandbox to live mode, 404 and error pages are styled rather than showing raw server errors, and redirects from any old URLs are in place so search rankings are not lost.

Just as important are the business-side checks: analytics and conversion tracking are installed and verified, the Google Search Console property is set up, contact information is accurate across every page, and someone on the client's side knows how to log into the admin panel and make a basic content change. A technically perfect launch that the client cannot maintain afterward is still an incomplete one.
