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
.potfile with thesitehandofftext 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.
