Understanding the sign-off process and what it means for your project.

What Sign-Off Means

Sign-off is your formal approval that the work matches the agreed scope and is ready to go live. It is the point where you confirm: “This is what I asked for, it works correctly, and I am happy for it to be published.”

When It Happens

Sign-off happens after the client review stage. You review the work on the staging site, request any revisions within the included round, and once those are applied, you confirm sign-off via email.

Why It Matters

  • Clarity — Both sides know exactly when the project is considered complete
  • Protection — You are not billed for work you have not approved
  • Timeline — The 30-day support window starts from sign-off, not from the start date

Sign-off is not the end of the relationship. It is the start of the support window. If something breaks, we fix it.
