## Description

Ellie’s Checklist is a QA and setup checklist for WordPress projects. I built it
for my own sites and, after using it for a few months, decided to share it with 
other freelancers, developers and small teams.

It helps review sites during development, before delivery and before launch, with
automatic checks and simple manual tracking.

The plugin focuses on safe diagnostics and manual checklist tracking. It does not
install plugins, activate themes, delete content, edit configuration files, upload
premium packages or make destructive changes.

Main features:

 * Setup review dashboard for common WordPress tasks.
 * Checklist sections for build, handoff and launch.
 * Automatic read-only checks for selected settings.
 * Manual states: pending, done and not applicable.
 * Focus mode for unresolved items.
 * Simple history log and saved checklist state.

## FAQ

### Who is this plugin for?

Ellie’s Checklist is aimed at freelancers, developers and small teams that build
WordPress sites and want a simple way to review projects before launch or handoff.

### Does the plugin perform changes automatically?

No. Checks are read-only and checklist states are managed manually. The plugin is
designed to help you review your work, not to make changes on your behalf.

### Can I keep it installed after delivering a site?

Yes. Many checks remain useful after launch, and the checklist can be kept as a 
lightweight quality-control reference for future reviews.

### Does it affect the frontend or visitors?

No. Ellie’s Checklist only adds an admin screen and does not output anything on 
the public site.

### Who can access the checklist?

Only administrators or users with the `manage_options` capability can access the
plugin and save checklist data.
