Before any website goes live our staff will contact the Client to notify them of any missing or incomplete content. At this stage the Client will have a period of 2 weeks in which to submit remaining content before the website goes live, and if content is still missing the website will go live “as-is.” If this occurs then all incomplete pages may be banked and developed in the future using the Client’s update time.

Design and content layout for the Client website is completed by the Designer and presented to the Client for approval. After approval has been given the website will then go live. Before going live the team at SBO Buzz will proof read all pages in order to make sure the text and grammar are acceptable and to avoid any possible errors.
