Who it is for
The problem, in plain words.
A business owner who has a website and is not completely sure who controls it. Freelancers and agencies can use the same pages as a handoff document for each client; that is the client-use license.
Most owners find out who really controls their website on a bad day: the site is down, the designer has stopped answering, the domain renewal notice went to an old employee, or someone wants to move the site and nobody has the login.
By the end you will have a written list of every account your website depends on, proof that your business is the owner of each one, a calendar of what renews and when, and a plan for the day you change designers. One rule runs through the whole kit: your business owns the accounts. People are given access to them.
