We Launched the Site! Now What?
summary
Provides a concrete post-launch plan: hand clients a launch-day spreadsheet with responsibilities and a content freeze time, reduce DNS TTL so cutover propagates predictably, install Google Analytics and enable search-term tracking, schedule a follow-up call to sell maintenance (security updates every few months and Drupal version upgrades like Drupal 9), run light audits using Google PageSpeed Insights and quick accessibility checks, and align proposals to the client’s fiscal calendar so maintenance and enhancement budgets actually get funded.
