Bolt Client Site Launch Sprint (6-8 days)
A repeatable six to eight day delivery sprint that turns a client brief into a live Bolt full-stack site on the client's own domain, with authentication, database, and SEO configured before handoff. Built for agencies that want a fixed-fee launch offer without standing up separate hosting and backend vendors.
- Bolt Pro subscription at $25/month per builder seat, since custom domain support and removal of Bolt branding are Pro-tier features
- Client-owned domain with DNS access, because custom domain binding is a Pro capability and the client should hold the asset
- Written intake brief in plain language covering pages, user roles, and any data the site must store
- Figma file or GitHub repo if the client already has designs or existing code, since Bolt imports both
- Named client approver available on day 2 and day 5 for build review checkpoints
- 1.Run a natural language intake session and paste the client brief into Bolt to generate the first full-stack scaffold
- 2.Confirm the generated project includes the database tables and authentication flow the brief requires
- 3.Create a project folder in the agency Bolt workspace and name it with the client slug for clean separation
- 1.Import the client's Figma file into Bolt where designs exist, otherwise refine the generated layout through follow-up prompts
- 2.Replace placeholder copy with client-approved messaging and swap in brand assets within the 100MB file upload limit
- 3.Send the staging preview link to the client approver for the first review pass
- 1.Configure user authentication roles to match the access model in the brief
- 2.Seed the built-in database with the client's real content records and test read and write paths
- 3.Log any prompt iterations that burned tokens so the team can tighten the intake template next cycle
- 1.Apply on-page SEO structure, page metadata, and sitemap settings inside Bolt
- 2.Run a mobile and desktop pass and fix layout breaks through targeted prompts rather than manual rebuilds
- 3.Capture a screenshot set of every page for the client approval record
- 1.Bind the client's custom domain in Bolt and verify DNS propagation
- 2.Confirm Bolt branding is absent from the published site, which requires the Pro plan
- 3.Walk the client approver through the live staging URL for final sign-off
- 1.Publish to the client domain and run a full click-through of authentication, forms, and database-backed pages
- 2.Write the handoff guide covering how the client edits content and who holds the Bolt seat
- 3.Archive the project prompt history and note token consumption against the 10M monthly Pro allowance
- 1.Deliver the handoff training session and transfer domain and account ownership decisions to the client
- 2.Close the sprint with a written scope note listing what a phase two would cover
One Pro seat at $25/month carries the whole build, so a $3,500 launch fee leaves the tool cost as a rounding error against roughly 20 hours of delivery labor. The margin risk sits in token burn: Pro starts at 10M tokens per month with unused tokens rolling over, so a disciplined intake template keeps a single seat serving several client builds before an upgrade is needed. Agencies that reuse the same prompt scaffold across clients protect margin better than those rebuilding from a blank conversation each time.
- Live client site published on the client's custom domain with Bolt branding removed
- Authentication and database configuration documented in a one-page technical summary
- SEO configuration record covering metadata and sitemap settings
- Client handoff guide for content edits and account ownership
- Prompt history archive and token consumption log for the sprint
The client site is live on its own domain with working authentication, a populated database, and SEO metadata in place, and the client has received the handoff guide and training session.
