Public launch readiness

Make MtVernon.net easy to show, explain, and improve.

This page turns the platform into a practical launch checklist for early reviewers, local partners, sponsors, and contributors.

Before public sharing

Review the basics

Confirm navigation, mobile layout, core pages, contact paths, privacy/terms, and submit forms.

Early outreach

Invite a small circle

Start with trusted residents, civic contacts, businesses, and organizations before broad promotion.

Feedback loop

Capture improvements

Collect notes on clarity, missing local categories, confusing links, and opportunities for partnerships.
