Replace All Placeholder Content
When you build a website with templates, you start with fake content. You need to remove all dummy text and images. This makes your site look professional and real.
Your content check should include:
- All text is your own – no dummy text anywhere
- Real business information – your actual services, prices, and contact details
- Real photos – your actual work, products, or business premises
- Updated contact information – current phone numbers, email addresses, and hours
- Accurate business details – correct address, service areas, and registration info
Visual and Brand Checks
- Logo placement – your logo appears correctly on every page
- Brand colors – all colors match your business cards and other materials
- Font checks – headings and body text are easy to read on all devices
- Photo quality – all images are sharp and load quickly
Test All Forms and Buttons
Forms and buttons are essential for getting customers. Make sure they work correctly. This prevents frustrated visitors and lost sales.
Critical tests to do:
- Contact forms actually send emails – fill out your form and confirm you get the message
- Phone numbers work on mobile – tapping phone numbers should open the dialer
- Buttons work – every button should do what it promises
- Navigation menus – all menu items lead to the correct pages
- Online booking systems – if you take appointments, test the whole process
Mobile Checks
Most web traffic comes from mobile devices. Making your site mobile-friendly is essential for reaching customers.
Mobile testing list:
- Text is readable – no tiny text that needs zooming
- Buttons work on phones – large enough for fingers, not just mouse clicks
- Navigation works – menus open and close properly on phones
- Photos display correctly – images aren’t cut off or stretched
- Forms are usable – easy to fill out on small screens
Test on multiple devices. Use your own phone, tablet, and computer to check how the site looks on different screen sizes.
