Website launch checklist

The Plüg Outlet Ventura Setup Guide

Hi Steven — everything is built and looking great. This page shows exactly what you need to create, what to send over, and what to decide so I can connect everything, launch the website, and hand it fully over to you.

The good news: you will own every account yourself, most of them have a free plan, and the safest setup is to invite me as a team member instead of sharing passwords.

Domain name

What it does: This is your website address, such as theplugoutletventura.com.

Typical cost: $12–$20/year Only needed once
  1. If you already bought a domain, tell me where it is registered.
  2. If it supports team access, add me there. If not, that one login can be shared temporarily and changed later.
  3. If you have not bought one yet, tell me the exact domain name you want first so I can confirm it.

Good to know: GitHub is already handled on my side, so you do not need to create anything there.

2. Best way to give access

The preferred setup is simple: you stay the owner, and I get access only through invites. That keeps your main passwords private and makes cleanup easy once the project is done.

Best option

Invite me as a team member or admin on each service using the email I give you.

Backup option

If a domain provider does not support invites, you can share that one login temporarily and change the password after launch.

Important

Do not share your main Gmail password. Everything should connect through team invites whenever possible.

Simple rule: You create it, you own it, you invite me, and when we are done you can remove me with one click.

3. Send these business details

The site is currently using placeholder information in a few places. Send the real details below and I will swap everything in for you.

✓
Business phone number
The phone number customers should call or text.
✓
Full address
Include street, suite or unit number if there is one, city, state, and ZIP code.
✓
Business hours
Current placeholder hours are Monday to Friday 10am–6pm, Saturday 10am–5pm, Sunday closed. Confirm or correct them.
✓
Social media links
Send any links you have for Instagram, Facebook, Google Business Profile, and Yelp.
✓
Point-of-sale system
Tell me whether you plan to use Square, Clover, or another register/POS system. If you do not have one yet, that is okay and we can add it later.

4. Photos and brand files

These will make the site feel real, personal, and polished instead of generic. Even good phone photos are perfectly fine.

Photos of you and Manny

Please send two clear photos, one of each of you, or one strong photo of both of you together. These will go in the “Two Brothers” section of the website.

Logo file

Best option: a vector logo file such as .svg, .ai, or .eps. If you only have a PNG or JPG, send the highest-quality version you have.

Store photos

Optional but very helpful: photos of the store, warehouse, appliances, showroom, or anything else real from the business.

Easy way to send them

You can send them however is easiest for you — email, shared folder, or direct message — as long as the files stay full quality.

5. One decision to make

I need one quick answer about website traffic reports so I can wire up the right tracking option.

Analytics choice

I can set up Google Analytics, which is free, so your weekly Clarity Report shows real visitor numbers. There is also a privacy-friendly paid option that costs about $9/month if you prefer not to use Google.

Option 1: Google Analytics — free Option 2: Privacy-friendly alternative — about $9/month
You can simply reply with one of these:

Google Analytics   Privacy option   You pick

Quick checklist

If you just want the fastest version, complete these items and I can take it from there.

1
Create accounts for Supabase, Resend, Cloudflare, and your domain registrar.
2
Invite me to each account using the email I give you.
3
Send your phone number, address, hours, social links, and POS system name.
4
Send photos of you and Manny, your logo file, and any store photos you have.
5
Choose Google Analytics or the paid privacy-friendly option.
Once I have these, I can connect everything, launch the site, and hand over the keys.
