PROCESS

How I Protect Client Websites

I don't just launch a website and hope it works. Every client project follows a build, backup, QA, and deployment process so the site is easier to maintain and safer to update.

01

Private Code Backup

Client sites are version-controlled from day one, not just kept as a folder of files.

  • —Every project lives in its own private, version-controlled repository.
  • —Meaningful updates are committed with clear, dated history — not silently overwritten.
  • —Private backups are used when appropriate, so the code exists safely off of any single machine.
  • —If something breaks, or you want to revisit an earlier version, there's a real rollback path — not guesswork.
02

Pre-Launch QA

Before anything goes live, it gets tested the way a real visitor would actually use it.

  • —Checked on mobile, tablet, and desktop — not just one screen size.
  • —Reviewed for layout issues like content spilling off the side of the page or getting cut off.
  • —Contact forms and other interactive pieces are tested, not assumed to work.
  • —Checked for browser console errors and failed page requests before launch.
03

SEO & Crawl Basics

A site that looks right but can't be found or read correctly by search engines isn't finished.

  • —Page titles and descriptions are reviewed for every page, not left as defaults.
  • —Sitemap and canonical URLs are checked so search engines see one clear version of each page.
  • —Where the site's setup supports it, important pages are built to be crawlable rather than hidden behind loading screens.
  • —Structured data (schema) is added where it helps search engines understand the page.
04

Safer Deployment

Going live is a checked step, not a leap of faith.

  • —Every build is tested before it's pushed to the live site.
  • —After deployment, the live production pages are checked directly — not just the local preview.
  • —Meaningful changes can be traced back to exactly what was changed and when.
  • —The live site is never edited by hand in the dark — changes go through the same process every time.
05

Ongoing Care

Launch isn't the finish line — most sites need upkeep to stay reliable.

  • —Website Care covers the small stuff: minor updates, form checks, and basic upkeep so the site stays current.
  • —Bigger work — new features, integrations, IDX/MLS, custom systems, or new page builds — is scoped and quoted on its own, not bundled in blindly.
