  1. Mobile audit. Open every page on your phone. For each:
  1. Cross-browser check. Open your site in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Note any layout issues.
  1. Content proofread. Read every page out loud. Catch typos, awkward sentences, broken links. Check that all phone numbers and email addresses are correct and clickable.

  1. Ask someone outside your business to complete one task on your site: "Find out what we do and contact us." Watch them (or ask them to screen-record on their phone). Where do they hesitate? Where do they get confused? That's what you fix.
