How to hand over a website to a client
The handover is where good builds go wrong. The client wants to change things, you did not build a CMS, and every small edit comes back to you. Here is a handover that holds.
How
- Register the site and put one line before </body>.
- Add the client as an editor. They get a link by email, no account, no password.
- Show them once: tap a text, type, save. Tap a photo, pick a new one.
- Set what they pay you monthly. You keep the code, the hosting and the invoice.
The install
<script src="https://edit.thebrainer.co/edit.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY" defer></script>
Before </body> on every page, or once in the layout. Works on Lovable, Bolt, Claude Code, Next.js, Astro, Vite, Webflow, Framer and plain HTML. Docs.
Questions
Does the client need an account?
No. They get a link by email that opens their site with the editor. Revoke it any time.
Can the client break the layout?
No. They change text, photos and simple styles. Layout, design and code are not touchable.
Where do the saves go?
By default we store them and apply them on the live page for every visitor. Optionally every save is a commit to your GitHub repo, or we host the site.
What does it cost?
First site free. $9 per site per month after that, $6 from 20 sites. You charge your client what you want.
