Stage 6 · Lesson 6 of 8

Delivering and earning reviews

Finish with a package. It includes the final files, access to the or source, and accounts moved into the 's name. Add a short guide to running or editing the work.

Add a clear note on what support is included afterwards and what costs extra. Move , and other outside accounts to the client instead of keeping them under your name. Remove your own access when you no longer need it.
