A website handoff does not need a large manual. It needs the few pieces of context that stop the next person from guessing.
Keep these four sections
- Where the site lives and who can access it
- What gets updated weekly, monthly, and rarely
- Which forms, inboxes, and integrations matter most
- What should not be changed casually
Leave operational context, not just credentials
Passwords help someone log in. Handoff notes explain what they are looking at once they get there.
Make the first maintenance pass part of the handoff
The best way to validate a handoff is to let the incoming owner complete one normal update with the notes you left behind.
