A website template gives you a starting point. What you build around it makes it useful.
Before calling a website ready, we’d ask:
• Can visitors quickly understand the offer? • Does the mobile layout prioritize what they need most? • Can the owner update content without breaking the design? • Is the next step clear—browse, book, buy or get in touch?
These questions matter whether you’re working with Wix Studio, WordPress or a custom build.
For us at AliThemes, a useful template should leave room for real content and real business needs—not just look good in a demo.
Designers: what’s the one thing you always check before handing a website over to a client?

so true. template is like 10% of work lol. i learned this hard way building product pages, if owner cant update without breaking everything then its not ready. mobile part is so real.

Exactly, Naim—the editing experience is part of the finished product. A useful handoff test is asking the owner to update a product title, image and description themselves, then checking mobile. What helped most on your product pages: reusable sections or clearer editing guidance?
