I’ve been thinking a lot about what actually makes a website handoff difficult.

I’m curious what other developers and agencies have found.

What’s been the hardest part of handing off a client website for you?

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

That changed how I think about website handoff.

Give the client a content editor, not a website builder.

The tool you use to build the website doesn't have to be the tool your client uses to maintain it.

That's one of the problems we're solving with https://t.co/4jQYdYZ9e9

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

The first production website I ever built was for my dad’s business.

After I finished it, he asked:

“How can I edit it?”

So I showed him Elementor.

I thought I had solved the problem.

I hadn’t.

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

When a client wants to update their website, they shouldn't need to understand:

→ How the page was built
→ Where sections are structured
→ What they shouldn't delete
→ How the layout works

They should just be able to edit the content they're responsible for.

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

That’s the problem I built https://t.co/DAGGVkRbqx to solve.
The tool you use to build a website doesn't necessarily need to be the tool your client uses to maintain it.
How do you handle website handoff?

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

If your website handoff strategy is:
“Just don’t touch that.”
There’s probably a problem.
For years, I thought CMSs and page builders were the answer.
Then clients would make a simple content change…and something unrelated would break.

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

They should be able to manage the content they actually own:
→ Text
→ Images
→ Products
→ Posts
Without worrying about deleting a section or breaking the layout.
Give clients the ability to edit their content, not their website.

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

So this is me saying thank you to everyone developer who is building for other developers. Thank you so much for putting in the work to give us the best experience when building our own softwares

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

However, building for other developers is not the same a building for consumers

Its so easy to do npm install and move on with you life, but the work that goes into making these tools we use everyday stable for production. It's not easy work.

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]

I've been building website for clients since 2018, it's the tool I've always wanted to give my clients for the best editing experience

Building has been a very rewarding and challenging experience and AI has been such a blessing!

[Busola Okeowo @she_writescode]
