Once the website has been constructed and the testing completed the site is ready for hand-over to your organisation.

This third and final stage of the development process involves the web developer:

• conducting training in using the maintenance software
• installing any third-party software or templates that your staff will use to maintain the site
• providing the site documentation - eg navigation maps, indexes of files and the files themselves
• returning hard copy and soft copy materials used during the development of the website
• closing the test site and project management email groups
• both parties may need to remove access to any systems or physical access to buildings.
