The Buddy standard

Good projects aren't just designed well. They're run well.

Clear scope

Know what we are building before production starts.

Centralised feedback

One agreed channel and one consolidated review round at a time.

Safe access

Use collaborator or delegated access where possible; never paste passwords into this form.

Staging first

Review and test safely before anything replaces the live experience.

QA before handover

Forms, links, devices, integrations, SEO and tracking checked before launch.

Change control

New ideas are welcome; material scope changes are documented before they affect timing or cost.
