Website Checklist

Print Document

• Google your farm name — What shows up? Look for outdated links, incorrect info, or duplicate listings.
• Check that your domain name is active and not set to expire soon.
• Review your site security settings (SSL certificate should be active and automatic HTTPS redirect turned on).
• Test website speed using a tool like Google PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev)

Next, log into your website platform (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, etc.) on a desktop or laptop to ensure everything is up to date.

• Make sure your farm name/logo appears clearly.
• Check that your menu navigation works and reflects your current pages.
• Test all navigation links (home, shop, about, contact, etc.) for accuracy and broken links.

• Review the homepage banner or featured image—replace it if it’s seasonal or outdated.
• Check any featured buttons (e.g., “Shop Now,” “Sign Up”) for working links.
• Make sure any highlighted announcements are current (e.g., CSA open, sold out, etc.).

• Check current inventory and remove any out-of-season or sold-out products.
• Confirm prices are accurate and match your current pricing strategy.
• Check availability dates or pickup/delivery windows.
• Test your shopping cart or booking system.
• Review taxes and shipping settings, if applicable.

• Read through your ‘About’ page—update staff, years in business or new products/practices.
• Double-check your contact info and hours. Are the links to call or email you working correctly?
• Review return/refund/shipping policies for accuracy and clarity.

• Test your contact us form—do the messages reach your inbox?

• Review automated confirmation messages or emails tied to these form submissions.

• Replace outdated or low-quality images.

• View your site on a phone and/or tablet.
• Make sure text is readable and buttons are easy to click.

• Check that the header scroll is working how you want it to.

• Review page titles and meta descriptions—do they clearly describe the page and include useful keywords?
• Check for broken links throughout the site.
• Make sure each page has a unique meta description.
• If using Google Search Console, verify your domain is still connected.

• Confirm your address, hours, and phone number are accurate and match your website.
