Launch readiness checklist

Most launch problems are not surprises: they are things nobody got round to. Choose what you are launching, tick what is done and see exactly what is still outstanding, with a link to the relevant guide for each item. Copy the remaining list for your team or your supplier.

Private by design: your ticks stay in your browser and disappear when you close the page. The list is passed to our enquiry form only if you choose that option.

How to use it

  • Be honest when ticking. “Mostly done” is not done. The point is to find the gaps while they are cheap to fix.
  • Share the outstanding list with whoever owns each item, and set a date.
  • Re-run it a week before launch, and again after any large change.
  • It is not exhaustive. Your business may need items that are not here, such as sector licences or contractual requirements.

Where law or regulation applies, take professional advice. Our PDPO guide is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does a fully ticked list mean I am ready?

It means you have covered the common items. A final check by someone who did not build the product, ideally with a few real users, is still worth doing.

Will my ticks be saved?

No. Nothing is stored or sent. Copy the list if you want to keep it.

Why are some items hidden when I change the type?

Some items apply only to apps (such as store listings) or only to sites (such as search and page speed). The list shows what is relevant to what you are launching.

Can you check our launch for us?

We can review a site, app or plan and tell you what we find. Send us the details and what you are worried about.

Launching soon?

Send us what is still outstanding. We will say what matters most and what can safely wait.
