From Figma to Live Site: What Handoff Should Look Like
A good handoff means you own your codebase completely. Here's what that should actually include.
Nexaura Labs Team
"You own the code" is a promise that only means something if the handoff is done right. A rushed handoff leaves founders locked out of their own product.
A real handoff includes
- A clean, documented codebase with no orphaned dependencies
- Access to every account — hosting, domain, database, third-party services
- A walkthrough video explaining how the pieces fit together
Anything less means you're still dependent on the team that built it, even after the invoice is paid. Full ownership from day one is non-negotiable.
