A practical launch checklist for Philippine web products.","Launch week is not the time to discover your payment webhook fails, your admin password is shared by six people, or nobody tested on a phone with slow data.\n\nPhilippine web products — customer portals, booking sites, internal ops tools — go live in messy real environments: GCash and card payments, SMS providers, staff on Android with intermittent signal, customers who message on Messenger instead of filling forms. A pre-launch checklist turns panic into sequence.\n\nUse this before any public or staff-facing product you depend on for revenue or operations.\n\n## Scope and acceptance\n\n- Critical user paths documented and **signed off** — not \"everything works\"\n- Known limitations listed and communicated to staff\n- Out-of-scope items deferred with written phase-two note\n- Success metrics defined — what you measure in week one\n\nIf nobody can name the five things that must work on day one, you are not ready.\n\n## Authentication and permissions\n\n- Individual staff accounts — no shared admin login\n- Role permissions tested — receptionist cannot reach finance exports\n- MFA enabled on hosting, email, payment dashboards, production admin\n- Contractor and agency access reviewed — remove what is not needed\n- Password reset and lockout flows tested\n\n## Data and migration\n\n- Production data migrated or entered; counts validated against source\n- Test records removed from production\n- Backup taken **before** cutover; restore tested at least once this month\n- Archive plan for old spreadsheets or legacy tool — read-only, named owner\n\n## Payments and money paths (if applicable)\n\n- Live payment test with real small amount — refund or void cleanly\n- Webhook or callback logs monitored — payment success updates the right record\n- Failed payment, timeout, and duplicate submission handled with clear user message\n- Receipt or confirmation email\u002FSMS actually arrives\n- Reconciliation export matches payment provider dashboard\n\nPhilippine customers abandon fast when money feels uncertain. Test like a skeptical buyer.\n\n## Notifications and integrations\n\n- SMS, email, push — each template tested with real addresses and numbers\n- Third-party APIs using production keys, not sandbox left connected by mistake\n- Error alerts go to someone who responds — not a black hole inbox\n- Rate limits and provider quotas understood for launch traffic\n\n## Performance and devices\n\n- Core pages load acceptably on mid-range Android over mobile data — not just office WiFi\n- Forms work on common browsers your staff and customers use\n- File uploads sized and typed correctly; large files do not silently fail\n- Public routes do not expose admin URLs, debug bars, or stack traces\n\n## Security basics\n\n- HTTPS everywhere; certificates valid\n- Environment secrets not in repository or client-side code\n- File upload restrictions — type, size, storage location\n- Basic rate limiting or bot protection on public forms\n- Privacy notice matches data you collect; consent where required\n\nSee our [security basics for PH SME apps](\u002Fblog\u002Fsecurity-basics-ph-sme-apps) if you have not reviewed these areas.\n\n## SEO and public content (customer-facing sites)\n\n- Titles and meta descriptions on key pages\n- Indexing rules correct — staging not indexed, production sitemap submitted\n- Analytics and conversion tracking verified\n- Contact forms and inquiry routing reach the right people\n- Google Business Profile and key listings match live URLs and phone numbers\n\n## Staff readiness\n\n- Named launch owner on client side — decisions in hours, not days\n- Training completed for daily tasks; SOP for top ten scenarios\n- Support channel for launch week — who staff message when stuck\n- Customer-facing messaging ready if behavior or hours change\n\n## Deployment and rollback\n\n- Deployment steps documented; not tribal knowledge in one developer's head\n- Rollback plan — previous release or maintenance mode message\n- Monitoring for errors and uptime; someone watches dashboards launch day\n- On-call agreement with your vendor — response time expectations written\n\n## Day-one smoke test (production)\n\nRun immediately after go-live:\n\n1. Complete one full customer or staff journey end to end\n2. Trigger one failure on purpose — bad card, invalid form — confirm handling\n3. Confirm notification received\n4. Check admin record matches what customer saw\n5. Verify backup job scheduled\n\n## After launch\n\nPlan daily check-ins for week one — review error logs, fix adoption friction, compare metrics to baseline.\n\n## Need a launch review?\n\nIf go-live is close and nobody has run a checklist like this, [contact us](\u002Fcontact). We can review your staging environment, critical paths, and cutover plan — or tell you what must slip before production is responsible.
