What to Do After Installing a Readymade Website (Checklist for Buyers)
You’ve successfully imported your readymade WordPress website — great! Now follow this essential checklist to personalize, secure, and optimize your website before going live.
Update Your Login Credentials
Security comes first after installation.
After importing a SiteCrafted readymade website, your login details change to the new site’s admin credentials.
Immediately change:
Admin Username
Admin Password
Admin Email Address
This ensures site security and protects you from unauthorized access.
Save Your Permalinks
Ensures all pages work properly.
Go to:
- Settings → Permalinks
- Click Save (no changes required)
This fixes any 404 errors after installation.
Replace Demo Content With Your Own
Customize your website for your brand.
Update the default demo content with your real content:
- Logo & site title
- Homepage sections
- About page information
- Services & descriptions
- Images & gallery items
- Contact details
Your website is fully ready — just replace what you need.
Configure Basic Settings
Set up your site identity and core info.
- Site Title & Tagline (Settings → General)
- Timezone (match your country)
- Admin Email
- Reading Settings (Homepage display)
- Discussion Settings (comments on/off)
These core settings make your website match your brand.
Upload Your Logo & Favicon
Branding is everything.
Replace the demo logo inside:
- Appearance → Customize → Site Identity
Upload:
- Your logo
- Favicon (Site Icon)
This gives your website a professional, branded look.
Check Your Menus & Navigation
Ensure visitors can find everything.
Go to:
Appearance → Menus
Confirm that:
- Main menu is set
- Footer menu is set (if available)
- Important pages are added to menu
Make adjustments based on your business needs.
Update Contact Information
Ensure leads reach you — not demo data.
- Email address in contact forms
- Phone number
- Office address
- Form notifications (Contact Form 7 / Elementor forms)
- Google Maps embed (if needed)
Buyers should replace all demo data before launch.
Optimize Your Website Speed
Keep your site fast and lightweight.
We recommend installing:
- LiteSpeed Cache or WP Super Cache
- Autoptimize (CSS/JS optimization)
- Smush or ShortPixel (image compression)
Most SiteCrafted websites score high on Core Web Vitals after light optimization.
Install Security Essentials
Protect your website from attacks.
We recommend:
- Wordfence or iThemes Security
- Limit Login Attempts
- Change wp-admin URL (optional)
Your website becomes much more secure after these steps.
Final Testing Before Going Live
Check everything end-to-end.
- Test all links
- Test all forms
- Test mobile responsiveness
- Test load speed
- Test menu navigation
- Test contact page
Your website is now fully ready to launch!
