The last mile is the trickiest Launch Day, [ice]Without the Drama[/ice]
Launching a website looks like flipping a switch, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes: pointing your domain, setting up hosting and SSL, moving files and databases, redirecting old pages so you don’t lose Google rankings, and testing everything on real devices.
Whether you’ve designed a site yourself, created one with AI, inherited one from a previous developer, or need to move hosts, we take care of the technical launch. Before anything goes live, we double-check content and functionality across browsers, then run a final test on the live servers.

What happens on launch dayOur Launch [ice]Countdown[/ice]
A website launch looks like flipping a switch, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. Every launch follows the same countdown, whether it’s a hand-coded site, a WordPress site, a Shopify store or something built with AI.
Prepare
We back up your current website and gather access to your domain, hosting and website builder, so nothing is lost.
Configure
Hosting, SSL, business email and DNS records are set up, and every old page address is mapped to its new home.
Test
We review the site on a private staging link: phones, browsers, forms, speed, accessibility and SEO settings.
Switch
At a quiet time we point your domain to the new site, confirm SSL and switch on redirects. Downtime is minimal.
Watch
For the next few days we monitor the site, submit your sitemap to Google and check analytics are counting visits.
Liftoff
Your website is live, secure and ready for visitors, with backups running and a team on call if anything needs a tweak.
Shopify & e-commerceLaunching a [ice]Shopify[/ice] Store
Shopify stores are built on themes written in Liquid, Shopify’s template language. Liquid decides how products, collections, carts and checkout pages are displayed, so small theme changes can make a big difference to how your store looks and sells.
We connect your domain, review your theme and its Liquid templates, fix layout and mobile issues, set up taxes, shipping and payments, and make sure product pages, collections and redirects are ready for Google before the doors open. Moving from WooCommerce, Wix or Squarespace? We migrate products, customers and page addresses so you don’t lose sales or rankings.
Wix, Squarespace and moreLaunching a [ice]Website Builder[/ice] Site
Built your website on Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Webflow, Weebly or another website builder and just need someone to get it over the finish line? We offer quick, hourly help without a full redesign.
Builders host the website for you, so the work is all in the details: connecting your domain and business email, filling in SEO titles and descriptions, setting up Google Search Console and Analytics, fixing the mobile layout and checking accessibility.
Built with AI?Launching an [ice]AI-Built[/ice] Website
AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and AI website builders can produce a great-looking first draft in minutes. Getting that code live, secure and working properly is where most people get stuck.
We review the code, fix what’s broken, make sure your contact form actually delivers email, remove placeholder text and exposed keys, check accessibility and SEO, and launch it on secure hosting with your own domain and SSL. Read our AI website launch guide for the full checklist.
Questions we hear a lot Website Setup & Launch [ice]FAQs[/ice]
I made my website with AI. Can you launch it?
Yes, and we see this more and more. We review the code, fix any problems, connect your domain and launch it on secure hosting. Read our guide to launching an AI-built website.
Do I need to host with you?
Not for builder sites like Wix or Squarespace, which include their own hosting. For HTML, AI-built or WordPress sites, we’re happy to launch on our hosting or yours.
Will moving my website hurt my Google rankings?
Not if it’s done carefully. We keep your URLs where possible and set up 301 redirects for anything that changes, then monitor Search Console after launch.
Can you launch a site built on Wix or Squarespace?
We can connect your domain and email to hosted builders. Moving a site off those platforms usually means rebuilding it, which we can quote.
How long does a launch take?
Simple setups can be done in a day. Migrations are scheduled at quiet times to minimize downtime, usually within a few days.
Do you need my passwords?
We’ll need access to your domain and hosting accounts. We recommend creating a separate login for us where possible, and changing passwords after launch.
Will my website be offline during launch?
Usually there’s little or no downtime. We prepare everything in advance and switch DNS at a quiet time.
Can you set up my Google Business Profile at launch?
Yes. We can create or update your Google Business Profile so it links to your new website.
Do you check accessibility before launch?
Yes. We check key pages for common accessibility issues and can provide a full audit if needed.
Can you launch a website on my existing hosting?
Usually yes, as long as your host supports what the website needs. We’ll review it first.
What do you need from me to launch?
Access to your domain registrar, hosting (if you have it) and the website files or builder account. We’ll walk you through granting access securely.
Do you keep supporting the website after launch?
Yes. Many clients continue with our hosting and maintenance plans.
