How to delegate website updates
Delegate website updates by giving your developer a staging site, a request board, and rules for what can go live without review. They make content and layout changes, install and update plugins safely, fix broken links and forms, monitor speed and uptime, and keep backups current.
How to delegate website updates, step by step
1. The SOP outline
- Log each request on the website board with priority.
- Make changes on staging first and test on desktop and mobile.
- Get approval for anything beyond small content edits.
- Deploy to the live site and confirm forms and tracking still work.
- Run weekly updates, backups, and broken-link checks.
2. Access and tools to set up
- Admin access to your CMS (WordPress, Webflow, or Shopify) with a named account.
- Hosting and staging access.
- A request board and change log.
- Backup tool and uptime monitor.
3. What good looks like
- Small changes go live within a day.
- Nothing breaks the live site, because changes are tested first.
- Plugins and backups are always current.
4. Weekly metrics to review
- Requests completed and turnaround.
- Site issues found by customers versus by the developer.
- Uptime and page speed.
