Purchase-moment guide · 7 minutes
A website handoff is complete only when the receiver can operate it.
Use this before the final invoice, agency exit, ownership transfer, or maintenance change. It is a practical operating check, not legal advice.
- 01
Confirm control, not a screenshot.
For the domain, hosting, repository, analytics, and paid services, the receiver should be able to sign in through their own authorized account and identify the current owner. Do not paste credentials into HandoffMirror.
- 02
Run one recovery path.
A backup that has not been restored is a claim, not a recovery path. Record only Ready, Missing, or Unsure in the mirror; keep evidence in systems already approved by both parties.
- 03
Name renewals and support edges.
Write down who pays each recurring service, what happens when it expires, the last supported day, and which requests become new work.
- 04
Commit both sides before comparing.
The outgoing builder knows what they intended to transfer. The receiver knows what is actually usable. Independent commitment prevents one answer from becoming the other party’s assumption.
- 05
Close every mismatch in public-safe language.
“Receiver has owner access to production hosting” is useful. A password, API key, private link, customer record, or secret location is not. Confirm the close from the other role.
Need a shared receipt?
HandoffMirror turns the eight checks into a private two-role workflow for $20 one-time.
HandoffMirror does not transfer credentials or assets, test external systems, prove legal ownership, provide an electronic signature, or replace professional review.
