WHY HAVE A CHECKLIST?

•   Plans change between design & launch
•   Site building is an iterative process, so things
    change and get inconsistent
•   Avoid last minute fixes the week after launch,
    or when the site admin starts adding content
•   Your checklist can serve as documentation
CONTENT TYPES
Remove Un-used Content Types
Manage Display: Is everything is the correct order?
Manage Fields: Is everything is the correct order?

VIEWS
Delete any Views or Views displays that you’re not using.
Document your Views!
Make sure that Views options are consistent
