Chapter 07. Phase 5: Launch and Beyond

Launching your site is a major milestone. But it is only a step; a website is an evolving production.

In today's web development world, this moment — launch — should not be an end; it is a transition into an entirely different workflow: maintenance and evaluation. Who will maintain the site, and what are their qualifications and capabilities? Who will be responsible for the creation of postlaunch content?
