Launch & Training

How we manage the go‑live, finalize DNS/SSL, and train your team with docs and recordings.

Launch & Training

Back to Process

We handle the domain DNS, SSL setup, and go-live. We provide training for your team on how to update content easily.

Introduction: From Construction Site to Family Home

Launch is the moment when the "construction site" becomes a living home. The wiring, plumbing, and inspections are complete, now we connect the utilities, hand over the keys, and walk you through every switch and system so you're confident stewarding your new digital home.

1. Final Inspection & Utilities Turn‑On

Just like a home’s final inspection and utility activation, we finish technical checks and switch on everything needed for go‑live: DNS changes, SSL certificates, redirects, performance and monitoring.

  • DNS & SSL: Point the domain, verify HTTPS everywhere, and ensure HSTS/redirects.
  • Performance Baseline: Confirm Core Web Vitals and cache/CDN behavior in production.
  • Monitoring & Alerts: Uptime and error monitoring configured before launch.

2. Move‑In Day (Go‑Live)

The family moves in at this stage. We execute the launch window, validate critical paths (giving, livestream, events), and monitor real traffic as it begins flowing.

  • Launch Window: Low‑risk timing and rollback plan ready.
  • Post‑Cutover Validation: Smoke test key user journeys.
  • Comms Support: Optional staff and member comms templates.

3. Keys & Homeowner Manual (Training)

We hand over the keys and walk you room‑by‑room. Your team learns how to add sermons, update events, publish news, and keep things tidy, supported by recordings and a concise admin handbook.

  • Live Training Session: Role‑based walkthroughs for editors and admins.
  • Video Tutorials: Short, searchable clips for common tasks.
  • Admin Handbook (PDF): Your quick‑reference "homeowner manual."

4. Post‑Move Support

Like a builder’s punch‑list and warranty window, we remain nearby after move‑in, answering questions, smoothing edges, and scheduling any follow‑ups.

  • Stabilization Period: Rapid responses for launch week questions.
  • Issue Tracking: Clear log for any fixes or refinements.
  • Maintenance Options: Ongoing care for security, backups, and performance.
