Training Clients to Manage Their Website

Many clients want to update their own website. Good training reduces support requests, prevents mistakes and increases client satisfaction.

Plan training as part of the project

Include CMS training in the website proposal and timeline instead of improvising it at handover.

Training formats

  • Live session with a recording the client can revisit.
  • Short video tutorials for common tasks.
  • A written guide with screenshots.
  • An FAQ document.

What to cover

  • Logging in safely.
  • Editing pages and blog posts.
  • Uploading and optimising images.
  • Managing forms and menus.
  • Basic SEO fields.
  • What not to touch.

Set boundaries

Use user roles to protect critical settings, and explain where self-service ends and support begins.

A website FAQ for clients

Answer common questions about hosting, domains, backups, updates, costs and response times.

Ongoing support

Combine training with a website maintenance plan from oceanone.
