What to check before you launch an AI-built website
Before you launch, check that the site is fast, accessible, and has no broken links. Also check that every page has a clear title and description, the contact form works, and the site is on your own domain. Novence runs Lighthouse, axe accessibility, and broken-link checks on each deploy, so your AI assistant can fix issues before anyone sees the site.

Which checks does Novence run for me?
Every deploy on a verified account runs three checks. Results come back to your assistant, which can fix the issue and redeploy. Run novence checks to see them yourself.
| Check | What it catches |
|---|---|
| Lighthouse | Slow pages, oversized images, render-blocking files |
| axe | Accessibility issues such as missing alt text, low contrast, and unlabelled form fields |
| Links | Broken links and missing files across the site |
What should I check by hand?
AI assistants are good at layout and weaker at details that need your knowledge.
- Your business name, phone number, address, and opening hours are correct.
- No placeholder text such as "Lorem ipsum" or made-up testimonials.
- Prices and claims are ones you can stand behind.
- Images are yours or properly licensed.
What helps the site show up in search and AI answers?
Search engines and AI assistants read the same signals. Ask your assistant to check each of these.
- A unique
<title>and meta description on every page. - One
<h1>per page that says what the page is about. - A
sitemap.xmlandrobots.txtat the root. - The site on your own domain, not a preview address.
- A clear first paragraph that answers what you do and where.
How do I test the contact form?
Send yourself a real message from your phone, not just your computer. Confirm the email arrives, and check what the visitor sees after pressing Send.
What should I do after launch?
A few habits keep a small site healthy.
- Add the site to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
- Watch the Novence analytics for 404s, which point to broken links elsewhere on the web.
- Review prices and opening hours when they change, then redeploy.
