A website needs people who know where content lives and how to update it. Agree who will own each part before launch.

Practise editing a page, replacing an image and reviewing a form. A useful handover is built around the things your team will actually do. Use this as a starting point for your own team’s conversation, and adapt the details to the work in front of you. ## Leave a reliable reference. Keep a concise guide to templates, modules and shared settings. A little documentation saves the next person a lot of guesswork.
