Who it is for

The problem, in plain words.

A business owner, or the one person who looks after the website, about to put a new site live on their own domain. You do not need to be technical. Where a check needs a command, the command is written out and so is what a good answer looks like.

Most launch problems are not design problems. They are things nobody measured: a contact form that sends to an inbox that does not exist, or a setting left over from the test site that tells Google to ignore every page. Each looks fine in a quick click-through, and each costs real business for days or weeks before anyone notices.

The chapters follow the order you will work in. Chapters 1 to 5 happen while the new site is still on its test site and before it becomes the live site on your real domain, Chapter 6 is launch day, and Chapters 7 and 8 are the watch afterwards.
