We demonstrate and test working features throughout delivery, allowing your team to review content, usability and technical decisions before launch.
-
Launch and hand over
We check accessibility, security, performance and recovery procedures, then hand over documentation and administrator access with an agreed maintenance plan.
Who this service supports

- Your team needs a portal or integration beyond the capabilities of its existing software.
Agreed responsibilities

Third-party API limits, license terms and client-supplied content stay visible as dependencies and are tested where the provider allows it.
