Broken Tech Checklist

For entrepreneurs and ministry leaders whose website, forms, payments, donations, registrations, email, or follow-up systems need to work.

Use this checklist before you lose another client, donor, attendee, volunteer, or opportunity to a broken next step. If three or more items are failing, the system is probably leaking trust and money right now.

The checklist

Walk the path like a real person, not like the person who built it.

Open your site in a private browser window and test the exact path a visitor would take. Count every item that fails, confuses you, delays the next step, or requires a second person to explain what should have been clear.

First impression

  • The page makes the offer or ministry next step clear in five seconds.
  • The primary button says what will happen next.
  • The page works on a phone without pinching, sideways scrolling, or hidden buttons.

Lead and contact path

  • The contact form sends to the right person.
  • The visitor receives a clear confirmation or knows what happens next.
  • The leader or team can reply without hunting for missing information.

Money, donation, or registration path

  • Payment, donation, checkout, or registration links open correctly.
  • The amount, event, service, or purpose is clear before someone pays or signs up.
  • The confirmation message tells both sides what just happened.

Email and follow-up

  • Automated emails still match the current offer, event, or ministry language.
  • Replies go to an inbox someone actually checks.
  • People are not left waiting because one tool failed silently.

Trust and clarity

  • Old dates, old prices, old offers, and dead links are removed or updated.
  • Private access, passwords, and payment details are never requested in an unsafe place.
  • A new visitor can understand who is helping them and why they can trust the next step.

Proof it works

  • You tested the path on desktop and phone.
  • You tested from interest to confirmation, not just the first button.
  • You can name the one path that matters most this week.

Score it

Your score tells you what to fix first.

0-2 failures

Keep watching. The path may be usable, but test again before a launch, campaign, event, or donation push.

3-5 failures

Repair before sending more traffic. People are likely getting stuck, confused, or delayed.

6+ failures

Treat it as urgent. The system is probably leaking trust, money, registrations, donations, or follow-up.

Fastest useful next step

If the checklist exposes a leak, get a focused diagnostic.

A $250 written diagnostic identifies the highest-value fix, the path that needs testing, and the practical next move. If the issue needs a larger sprint, that is separated clearly from the first diagnostic.
