CMS Website Development Dubai

Example acceptance documents

What should you see before approving a CMS build?

Use these illustrative documents to agree what the proposed CMS must support. They are process examples, not evidence of a completed client project.

1. 01Platform decision and bilingual editor walkthrough

   Document to review

   A decision log comparing the shortlisted platforms against roles, content types, approval steps, preview and operating costs. Include a representative Arabic/English page with mixed-direction text.

   Acceptance check

   An editor drafts both language versions; a reviewer approves them; only the authorised publisher can publish. Check preview, RTL layout, mixed Arabic/Latin text, per-language URLs and rollback on the chosen platform.

2. 02Integration mapping and failure record

   Document to review

   A field map naming the source form, destination system and record, required fields, consent, duplicate rule, account owner and failure path. Mark each connection proposed, tested or out of scope.

   Acceptance check

   In an agreed test environment, trace a synthetic record to the intended destination. Verify rejection, duplicate submission and unavailable-destination handling. A website success message alone does not prove CRM delivery.

3. 03Migration reconciliation and cutover plan

   Document to review

   A content/media inventory, old-to-new URL map, metadata checklist, unsupported-item register and cutover/rollback responsibilities. Record source and destination counts with explained exceptions.

   Acceptance check

   Check representative records and images, priority URLs, redirects, canonicals and language annotations. Rehearse the agreed cutover and rollback in staging. Ranking, traffic and index inclusion remain outside a migration guarantee.

4. 04Ownership and maintenance register

   Document to review

   List domains, hosting, CMS accounts, repositories, extensions and licences, with the owner, renewal cost, backup responsibility, recovery checks and support hours for each.

   Acceptance check

   Confirm who can export content, administer accounts, approve updates and restore a tested backup. Agree patching, monitoring, response times, exclusions and training in writing; daily backups and 24/7 support are not assumed.

These are illustrative acceptance documents, not client case studies or delivered results. Platform features, integrations, hosting and support depend on the agreed scope and provider accounts.
