How to plan a website launch

A website launch can be pretty underwhelming – when done wrong.
You could spend a lot of time and money creating a website that will become the main focus of your marketing and yet it can fall flat when it’s time to launch.


Before you launch your website you need to consider these 2 simple steps to pick the right launch strategy.

So how do you plan a great website launch?

  1.  Launching a website when your social media platforms are totally new?

    If your website is completely new you want to make sure that you put aside some advertising money to promote it, especially during your website launch.

    You don’t necessarily need a large budget but you will need some money to spend.

    In order to get your first followers on social media and get some activity to your website, it’s good to create social media posts that give people a reason to follow you on social media and click through to your website.
