Manhattan Website Development Firm Offers A Checklist to Consider Before Bringing A Website Live

New York web development expert says that there are a number of items that must be considered before a website is published online.

According to Peter Crisafi, Vice President of dzine it, Inc., a leading Manhattan website development and Internet marketing company that boasts a list of clients from around the world, website owners should make a checklist and verify certain site elements before publishing.

“Most people think that when a website is complete, with a brand new design, new content and improved functionality that, once it has been reviewed and tested, it is ready to go live,” says Crisafi. “This is not the case.”

Crisafi says that while everything may seem ready to go with respect to a new site, there is a checklist of items that must first be double-checked; Items, he says, that most people may not be thinking about.

“There are a few things that every website owner should do before authorizing their web developer to flip the switch,” says Crisafi. “While some of these items can be addressed in-house, others require the help of a professional website developer. The bottom line, however, is that all of the items can have an impact on how effective the website will be.”

First on the list of “checks,” according to Crisafi, are page titles. Every page of the website should be checked to make sure that they feature page titles that include some keywords relevant to the page. The next item to verify, he explains, is the website’s META data.

“META data is simple code that is embedded within a website page that includes a description and keywords about that particular page,” says Crisafi. “Search engines such as Google search for META data and it can improve a website’s search engine ranking.”

Crisafi says that these two basic checklist items are often overlooked before a website is brought live, but they are two of the most essential pieces of a website.

“To ensure success, page titles and META data should be checked prior to going live,” says Crisafi.
