SiteHandoff

SiteHandoff helps WordPress agencies and freelancers deliver sites to clients in a structured way. While the site is in progress, visitors see a courtesy page with an optional live countdown. Clients and collaborators get individual preview links and can leave per-page feedback directly on the site.

Key Features

• Reviewer management — Add clients or collaborators with individual passwords and share their preview link via copy, email, or WhatsApp.
• Per-page feedback widget — Reviewers and admins can leave comments on any page; feedback is grouped by URL in the admin panel.
• Dashboard overview — See site status, reviewer count, and open feedback at a glance.
• Configurable countdown — Set a launch date and time; the plugin displays a real-time countdown timer.
• Auto-disable — The plugin automatically deactivates itself when the countdown reaches zero.
• Two content modes — Use the WordPress classic editor or insert fully custom HTML.
• Countdown shortcode — Place [sitehandoff_countdown] anywhere to embed the timer.
• Customizable colors — Choose background and accent colors with a built-in color picker.
• Gutenberg block — „Countdown Timer“ block with date picker and redirect on completion.
• Translation ready — Includes a .pot file with the sitehandoff text domain. Italian translation included.

How It Works

When the plugin is active, all unauthenticated visitors see the courtesy page. Administrators and anyone with a valid reviewer link can view the site normally and leave feedback using the floating widget.
