Client Handoff Checklist

One-day production checklist — webhooks, content trust, spam protection, smoke tests, and deploy sign-off.

Morning — make it work

  1. Wire production intake — set PUBLIC_GUIDE_WEBHOOK (and optional GA4) in CI variables; test live contact form
  2. Verify DNS & deploy — custom domain, HTTPS, branded 404, privacy page
  3. Fix trust content — real testimonials or clear “representative outcomes” labeling; media entries need URLs or removal

Midday — polish & protect

  1. Spam layer — honeypot minimum on public forms; rate limit webhook server-side
  2. Analytics decision — GA4 on + consent, or GA4 off entirely
  3. Smoke test — contact, search, theme, mobile nav, RSS, print résumé if applicable

Afternoon — content & ops

  1. Blog not empty — at least one recent note if blog is promoted
  2. CI quality gate — consider astro check or equivalent typecheck in pipeline
  3. Update discovery files — llms.txt, sitemap, agent manifest if public
  4. Final deploy — green CI, live site matches local

End-of-day boxes

  • Webhook tested on production
  • Testimonials defensible
  • Spam protection in place
  • Privacy policy live
  • Mobile smoke test passed
  • npm run build + audit clean
