06

Payment and changes

The Starter fee is paid after the written scope is accepted and before the build begins. One revision round is included. New pages, features, or changes outside this scope receive a separate quote.

THE HANDOFF

You receive the product
and the way forward.

The handoff is sized to the build so another engineer can understand what exists and you retain control of the accounts that keep it running.

  • Repository access and ownership
  • Hosting and domain access kept in the client's account
  • A list of required environment variables without secret values
  • Live URL, tested customer journey, and launch checklist
  • Short guide for routine content or account tasks
  • Architecture and data-flow notes when the agreed build needs them
