Your app is built.
Now make it safe to launch.
A plain-English checklist for everything that happens after the code is done: deploying, locking down security, and keeping your site healthy once real customers arrive. Built for founders, not just engineers. Print it, tick the boxes, sleep better at night.

What's inside
Six sections, 29 checkboxes, three pages. The unglamorous work that protects your launch.
Before you press deploy
Environments, secrets, backups you have actually restored, and a rollback plan.
Deploying safely
Automated releases, HTTPS everywhere, debug modes off, a friendly error page.
Locking down security
Security headers, two-factor on the accounts that matter, updates on a schedule.
Logging & knowing what is happening
Searchable logs, alerts before customers notice, nothing sensitive recorded.
Domains & certificates
Auto-renewal on the things that expire on weekends, email reputation protected.
Ongoing health checks
A light weekly/monthly/quarterly rhythm so launched does not become neglected.
A taste of it
Confirm a backup exists, and test restoring it.
A backup you have never restored is just a hope, not a safety net.
Force HTTPS everywhere.
Visitors typing the plain address should land on the secure version automatically.
Get alerted when errors spike.
You should hear about problems before your customers tweet about them.
Know who owns the domain.
Your company account, not a developer’s personal one.
Plus the two-minute test: "if our site went down right now, how would we find out?"
Who it's for
Founders and makers who shipped something (or had AI help ship it) and want to launch like a grown-up company. Nothing in it requires you to be technical: tick each box yourself, or hand it to whoever builds your software and ask "are we doing these?"
