Handover

Website launch and handover checklist for teams that want clean ownership after delivery.

Before delivery wraps up, confirm who owns which accounts, where documentation lives, what gets handed over and what support continues after launch.

Accounts
  • Domain registrar access confirmed
  • Hosting owner documented
  • Analytics and search tools transferred
  • Third-party integrations reviewed
Documentation
  • Environment notes stored safely
  • Deployment steps captured
  • Key credentials and recovery paths listed
  • Open issues or follow-up items recorded
After launch
  • Support contact agreed
  • Change request path defined
  • Retention of source files confirmed
  • Post-launch review scheduled
Why this matters

Handover problems create more friction than many visible bugs. When ownership is vague, simple changes become stressful fast.
