Website Acceptance Criteria

Website acceptance criteria are specific conditions used to decide whether agreed website work is ready for client approval. They might require functioning contact forms, correct service area information, mobile-friendly layouts, and links that lead to the intended pages. A cleaning business can use a written checklist to confirm that its new website matches the approved scope before final sign-off. Criteria should describe observable outcomes rather than vague goals such as making a page look professional. They also need an agreed process for documenting defects and handling changes outside the original scope. Acceptance criteria define the standard; user acceptance testing is one way to check whether that standard has been met.
