If you are about to go live with a new project, there are steps you must consider for a smooth lift-off. You may also be going live with your new EngagementHQ site; if this is the case, check out our site launch checklist.
You can use this checklist to ensure everything works and looks good so your community can effectively engage with you and the project.
Set the correct Visibility setting, especially if the project is not for public viewing.
Enable and Publish all tools on your project. It’s best practice to always have at least one tool on your project, but remember not to clutter your consultation with unnecessary tools.
Check any hyperlinks to ensure there are no errors.
Link your project to any Hubs or Related Projects.
Check the Permalink; this is particularly important if you’ve changed the project’s title since creating it.
Write your project description concisely, in plain language, and include a call to action for your community.
Make sure imagery is appropriate, emotive, and striking and that your videos are informative and playing correctly. Additionally, ensure that you have included alt text when necessary.
Check that your widgets are informative and set up correctly, and remember to remove any empty widgets.
Preview your project to understand the participant’s experience, including testing any available tools. We recommend previewing the draft on a mobile device and sharing a draft link with stakeholders.
When you’re ready, Publish your project and start inviting your community to engage by sharing it and sending newsletters.
Once published, you can use the Appearance Editor to add your project to your homepage.
