Module 10 / Delivery
Launch, handoff, and post-launch operations
Turns the no-code, speed, pre-launch, handoff, and wrap-up material into a delivery system for safe releases and ongoing improvement.
Learning outcomes
- Prepare a release checklist that covers content, responsiveness, forms, SEO, analytics, speed, and accessibility.
- Create handoff documentation with component states, responsive notes, assets, copy, and acceptance criteria.
- Plan post-launch maintenance, measurement, and follow-up.
Lessons
Build-path awareness
Designers do not need to become every builder, but they must understand how no-code and code constraints affect layout, components, content, and maintenance.
Practice: Compare the same landing page section in Webflow, WordPress, and a coded React implementation at a high level.
Performance and pre-launch review
Speed, image optimization, metadata, responsive QA, form tests, and broken-link checks are part of design quality.
Practice: Create a pre-launch checklist for a static landing page and mark who owns each item.
Design handoff packet
Handoff should reduce ambiguity: assets, text, responsive notes, components, interactions, edge cases, and acceptance checks.
Practice: Write a handoff note for one page section with mobile, desktop, state, and asset notes.
Post-launch operations
The project continues after launch through analytics, feedback, content updates, security, maintenance, testimonials, and iteration.
Practice: Create a 30-day post-launch follow-up plan with measurement and maintenance checkpoints.
Studio assignment
