The Design Process - Finishing Touches


There are a few final steps after the web site goes live that will finalize the design process. Ensure the client is pleased with everything that is done and is ready to finish up the project. At this point, incase something happens, provide the source files for the website. This could be given to them via email, CD or whatever means they find safest. I generally send them via email to save on their hard drive and give them a hard cody via CD just incase something happens to the files on their computer.

Also, be sure to go over some sort of maintenance plan with the client. They will more than likely need some sort of updating to the website and this could be a great way to keep them around as a client. Whether they just need updates every few months or bi-weekly, set up a plan that will keep them happy and coming back for your services.

Now, if the client is ready to complete the transaction, get them to sign off on the check and finally close out the project.

Be sure that the client is happy so that you can maintain a strong client relationship with them. You never know if they’ll need a redesign in the near future.

Now you’re done! Find a new project and get to work. Good luck.
