Project Handover to Clients
Purpose
To provide a standardized process for handing over Bubble-built applications to clients, ensuring they understand their product, can confidently manage basic functionality, and are set up for long-term success.
Handover Overview
Bubble developers are responsible for preparing and delivering a high-level technical walkthrough of the application to the client. The goal is to empower the client with enough knowledge to understand how the app works, make basic edits, and know when to reach out for further support.
