Questions

What should I send a client when their website goes live?

Say it is live and where, what is on it, what you need back and by when, how access will pass over, and how to ask for changes. The generator writes a short and a detailed version.

Should I send passwords in the handover email?

No. Use a password manager or a call. The detailed email has a reminder.

Where do I mention a care plan?

Near the end, once the client has the site. The emails add a line when you say you offer one.

Does this use AI?

No. It fills templates with what you type and makes no network calls.

Is anything I type stored?

No. The emails are written when the page is served and not saved.
