Guides for getting a site live
Short, practical guides for business owners who want a site launched quickly and correctly: what to prepare, how long each stage takes and how to move a domain safely.
- Website brief template: what to send your web team
A website brief is a single document that gives your web team every fact, file and decision needed to build your site: who you are, what you sell, to whom, where, how to contact you, plus logo, photos, domain access and one named approver. Sending it complete in one go is the biggest single factor in how fast a site launches.
- From brief to live: a realistic website launch timeline in days
A straightforward business website can go from complete brief to live in a matter of days when content, files, domain access and one approver are ready at the start. The build itself is rarely the slow part. Most delays come from missing material, scattered feedback and domain or DNS issues, so the timeline is largely in the client's hands.
- Moving your domain and email without downtime: a DNS migration checklist
To move a domain and email without downtime: record every existing DNS record, lower TTLs a day or two before, build the new site and mailboxes first, copy existing mail, then switch records at a quiet time and keep the old services running until checks pass. Domain registrar transfers are separate from DNS changes and can be done later.
