Your website is live the moment it is created — but it is still showing the template's sample business. Work through this list before you share the address.

## Make it yours

- [ ] **Logo** — *Layout › Header Manager › Logo*: your logo in the header. → [Header](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/header-footer/header)
- [ ] **Favicon** — *Settings › General Settings*: the small icon browsers show in the tab. → [General settings](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/settings/general-settings)
- [ ] **Company details** — company name, address, phone, email. They appear in the header, footer and contact sections, and in the structured data Google reads.
- [ ] **Brand colours and fonts** — *Design › Theme*. Change them once; every page follows. → [Theme](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/design/theme)
- [ ] **Every page's words and pictures** — open each page in *Info Pages* and replace the sample text and images. → [The page builder](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/building-pages/page-builder)
- [ ] **Menu** — *Layout › Menu Links*: rename, remove or add items so they match your pages. → [Menu links](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/header-footer/menu-links)
- [ ] **Footer** — *Layout › Footer Builder*: your address, opening hours, quick links and copyright line. → [Footer](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/header-footer/footer)
- [ ] **Social profiles** — *Layout › Social Links*. → [Social links](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/header-footer/social-links)

## Make sure it works

- [ ] **Send yourself a test message** from your contact form, then check *Forms › Form Enquiries*. → [Form enquiries](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/content/form-enquiries)
- [ ] **Look at every page on your phone.** Fix anything cramped with the tablet and phone views in the builder. → [Tablet & phone](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/building-pages/responsive-design)
- [ ] **Click every link and button** in the menu, footer and pages.
- [ ] **Delete sample content you will not use** — demo blog posts, gallery images, testimonials.
- [ ] **Check the padlock** — your site should open at `https://` with no warning. If not, see [Domain & SSL](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/troubleshooting/domain-and-ssl).

## Help people find you

- [ ] **Site title and description** — *Settings › General Settings › Meta Title / Meta Description*: what Google shows under your name. → [Site-wide SEO](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/seo/site-wide-seo)
- [ ] **A title and description for each page** — the **SEO** button on each page in *Info Pages*. → [Page SEO](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/building-pages/page-seo)
- [ ] **Google Search Console** — verify your domain and submit your sitemap. → [Search Console](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/seo/google-search-console)
- [ ] **Bing Webmaster Tools** — this is also how ChatGPT search finds you. → [Bing and AI search](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/seo/bing-and-ai-search)
- [ ] **Google Analytics** — paste your measurement link to see visitors. → [Google Analytics](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/seo/google-analytics)
- [ ] **Google Business Profile** — add your new website address to your free business listing on Google Maps.

## Be ready for visitors

- [ ] **WhatsApp button** — let visitors message you in one tap. → [WhatsApp button](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/settings/whatsapp-button)
- [ ] **Cookie consent bar** if you use analytics or advertising cookies. → [Cookie consent](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/settings/cookie-consent)
- [ ] **Spam protection** on your forms. → [Spam protection](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/settings/spam-protection)
- [ ] **A privacy page** — if your forms collect names, emails or phone numbers, add a page explaining how you use them.

> Share your new site where your customers already are: your WhatsApp Business profile, Instagram bio, Google Business Profile and email signature.
