Agency Delivery
How agencies and freelancers deliver client websites faster without giving up ownership.
This topic covers the delivery side of agency work with AI: where it removes real hours, where it does not, and how to hand a finished site to a client without creating a dependency on you or on a vendor.
What this topic covers
Agencies and freelancers have a different problem from a business building one site. The build is repeated work, margins live in the hours it takes, and the delivery is only finished when the client can operate the site without calling you. Articles here deal with that whole path rather than the generation step alone.
Where the hours actually go
The parts of a client website that consume time are rarely the parts that look impressive: chasing the client for facts and assets, writing copy that is accurate about their business, wiring up the technical SEO layer, and the handover itself. AI compresses the drafting, but the input-gathering and the approval loop stay human, so the realistic gain is in throughput rather than in eliminating the engagement.
The handover problem
A delivery that leaves the client unable to edit their own site is not finished — it is a support obligation. Three things determine whether a handover is clean:
- Who holds the infrastructure. If the site lives on your account, the client depends on you. PolyDraft projects — including deploy credentials — can be transferred between accounts, so the client ends up owning what they paid for.
- Whether the client can edit safely. Every site ships with an admin panel covering the blog, inquiries, images, internal links and translations, so routine changes do not come back to you.
- Whether your brand or the vendor brand is on it. Agency plans include white-label badge control and full source-code export.
Working as a team
Pro and above include team seats with Owner, Editor and Viewer roles and client-scoped access, so a client can be given visibility into their own project without seeing the rest of your book of work. Workspace snapshots allow rollback to earlier states, which matters most in the window between client review and launch. Agency plans cover 100 projects and up to 100 languages per site.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I deliver a site to a client and hand over full control?
- Yes. Projects, including deploy credentials, can be transferred between accounts, and sites deploy to a cloud account the client owns under their own domain. After transfer the client holds the infrastructure and the admin panel, so the site does not depend on your account remaining active.
- Can I remove PolyDraft branding from client sites?
- Yes, on Agency plans, which include white-label badge control and full source-code export. Lower tiers do not include badge control, so if white-labelling is part of your offer, Agency is the tier that matches.
- How do team seats and client access work?
- Pro and above include team seats with Owner, Editor and Viewer roles plus client-scoped access, so a client can be invited into their own project without visibility into your other work. Pro includes 3 seats and Agency includes 10; Enterprise covers up to 25.
- What if a client wants changes after handover?
- Routine content changes — posts, images, inquiries, internal links, translations — are handled by the client in the admin panel and go live instantly, without a developer. Structural changes still involve a build, which is where retained work tends to sit.
