How can we help? 👋

Pre-Launch

When development is wrapping up and the final tweaks are being made, what role does Valerian play in revisions and pre-launch support?

Now that the bulk of development is complete, your project moves into the pre-launch phase to get it to the finish line.

What does pre-launch entail?

At this point, we will prepare any site-specific training guides or videos. We’ll also document our dev notes so that any custom functionality or styles are noted for the future.

The pre-launch phase typically includes:

  • Content finalization
  • Client review and feedback
  • Technical SEO and redirect preparation
  • Adding integrations

Pre-launch support

😊

While we do not include pre-launch support when we scope your project, we’re happy to help!

We typically reserve a minimal amount of time as part of your project scope for revisions. If you plan to handle the bulk of this phase on your own, we’ll likely be able to assist you with a few minor revisions.

If you would like more support, we’ll bill hourly during this phase. Just let us know in the dedicated project Slack channel which items you’d like help with and we’ll take it from there!

Client review and feedback

We’ve used tools like Markup.io, Pastel, or Marker.io, so if you use any of these (or a similar service) to track things with your clients, let us know! We can provide instructions on how to invite our team so that we can help make changes as your clients request them.

Otherwise, you can provide feedback via screenshots or a Loom video on each item in the project’s Slack list.

Additional pre-launch support services

While these services don’t fall under our project scope, we’re happy to assist with them and are commonly requested as part of the pre-launch process.

  • Set up and connect Google Tag Manager
  • Set up and connect Google Analytics
  • Set up Google Search Console (if it doesn’t exist), submit sitemap, set up instant indexing
  • Link Analytics and Search Console
  • Set up Termageddon policies
  • Secondary domain redirects
ℹ️

Once pre-launch is complete, you can schedule a launch date with us.
