Sitedropper Client Preview Handoff (Delivery)

Sitedropper Client Preview Handoff (Delivery)

1. 01

   Confirm the client project is deployed through the Analyze, Build, Deploy pipeline

   Open the project in the Sitedropper dashboard and verify the build completed to a live HTTPS URL. If the agent session dropped mid-pipeline, redeploy from the connected agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, or Pi) or upload the project ZIP through the browser.

2. 02

   Leave visibility set to Draft

   Draft is the default state on every deployment. Do not switch to Public until the client has signed off. This is the review gate that keeps an unfinished build off the open web.

3. 03

   Generate a password-protected preview link

   From the sharing controls, select Password protected and set a password the client can pass to their own stakeholders. Send the URL and password in separate messages so the credential is not forwarded with the link.

4. 04

   Move to verified-email sharing when the reviewer list is known

   Starter plans and above support private sharing by verified email. Replace the shared password with named reviewer emails once the client confirms who needs access, which removes the risk of a forwarded password reaching an unintended recipient.

5. 05

   Connect the client's own domain before the go-live review

   Custom domain connection is available from the Starter plan upward. Point the domain at the project while it is still in Draft so the client reviews the final URL, not a temporary Sitedropper URL they will never see again.

6. 06

   Flip the project to Public and log the deployment

   After written client approval, switch visibility to Public. Record the deployment date, the plan tier used, and the domain in the client's delivery notes so the next retainer cycle knows what is already live.

7. 07

   Hand off project controls to the client contact

   Walk the client through renaming the project URL, regenerating the Sitedropper URL after a rename, and switching visibility themselves. Confirm they can reach the dashboard before you close the delivery ticket.
