How to Prepare Access for Your Website Project

A guide to collecting website, domain, hosting, email, analytics, and plugin access for a smoother project start.

Overview

Most website delays come from missing access. Preparing logins early lets XMLA audit the current setup and plan the work accurately.

When this helps

Use this article before a redesign, migration, emergency repair, hosting move, or managed services onboarding.

Recommended steps

  1. List each system connected to the website.
  2. Confirm the login URL and username for each system.
  3. Enable temporary access where available.
  4. Avoid sharing personal passwords when a user invite is possible.
  5. Submit access through the approved secure form.

Information XMLA may need

  • WordPress admin access
  • Hosting or cPanel access
  • Domain registrar access
  • DNS provider access
  • Analytics, Search Console, and marketing platform access

Next step

If you do not know who controls a login, send XMLA the domain name and we can help identify likely systems to check.
