# Launch Checklist

> Launch Checklist is a SaaS web application that helps web agencies, freelancers, and developers ensure a successful website go-live through structured checklists, automated verification checks, team collaboration, and exportable reports.

Launch Checklist provides over 213 pre-built launch tasks organized in 20 categories across three phases (Pre-Launch, Launch, Monitoring). It includes 9 automated website checks (SSL, robots.txt, sitemap, HTTPS redirect, security headers, canonical tag, meta tags, Open Graph, favicon), a public Quick Check tool for instant URL audits, team workspaces with roles, and multi-format export (PDF, Markdown, JSON, Redmine).

Created by Sebastian Schmal (INGENIUMDESIGN), based on 20+ years of web development experience and 600+ website launch projects.
