Putting a web online on the Internet is like putting a book in a library. It's no use unless people know it's there. So you have to ensure that people become aware of your web.
It's best to polish and test your web thoroughly before announcing your web. Once you announce your web, it's possible that thousands of people could visit your site within a short period of time. If there are any problems with your site, you may not be able to fix them before the damage is done. Another reason for getting it right first time is that when you announce your web, those who visit it and are unimpressed are less likely to return at a later date even if the web is re-announced.
Here's a list of ways in which you can publicise your web.
