What to include in a website handover

Know which accounts you own

Keep a record of the domain, hosting and service accounts that belong to you. Agree how access will be transferred without sharing passwords in general messages.

Practise the common edits

Ask for a walkthrough of changing text, replacing an image, adding a post and updating your navigation. These tasks should match the editing requirements in your brief.

Confirm the delivered scope

Review the agreed pages, forms and integrations. Make a note of anything intentionally left for a later phase.

Agree the next responsibility

Clarify who handles updates, backups, support and renewals after launch. Ongoing work should have its own clear scope.

Keep the documentation together

Store setup notes, licence information and the project handover where you can find them later.
