Practical website guides
Prepare the change. Know what to check.
Guides for planning website work and reviewing the result. Start with a clear decision, record the expected outcome and keep evidence of what was tested.
Website changes
SEO migration checklist
Prepare a domain, CMS or URL-structure change with a copyable URL mapping record, release checks and rollback questions. The guide includes an illustrative mapping example and prompts for documenting actual results.
Backup verification
WordPress backup restore test
Read the results of a local test with synthetic data: deliberately changed text and a setting, a removed file, and verification after restoration. The guide explains the checks, an HTTP 200 finding and the limits of applying this result to a production website.
Using the guides
Turn guidance into a project record.
01
Choose the relevant checks
Identify what changes on your website and which visitor journeys matter. Mark irrelevant checks explicitly.
02
Assign responsibilities
Record who owns each check, what a successful result looks like and who can approve the release.
03
Keep the evidence
Add the test date, observed result and unresolved issues. Use the record to plan the next review.
Hosting decisions
Know what the hosting plan includes.
Compare resources, backups, recovery, support and renewal costs with the same questions for each provider.
Read the WordPress hosting selection guide and use its five-part checklist before requesting a quote.
Link building
What link-building pricing actually covers
What goes into the price of a placement, how to judge publisher quality, when a paid link becomes a risk and which questions to ask before you pay.
Ongoing maintenance
WordPress maintenance checklist
See what a care plan should check before and after each update, which issues are easy to miss behind a green status screen, and which questions to ask about any maintenance offer.
