How to Hand Off a React Landing Page to a Client?

It's really important to set expectations with the client right from the start about hosting options and costs. You can choose to either host it for them, let them host it themselves, or set everything up so they pay directly. Just make sure they're clear on the costs involved for each option.

Make sure you have a solid contract in place before handing off anything. You should define service level agreements (SLAs) so that you know what to expect moving forward. Without this, getting paid for your services could become a challenge.

If it's a straightforward landing page, I suggest deploying it on a platform where you can manage the project and then transfer ownership to the client after completion. This way, they handle their own costs, and you won't be stuck supporting them indefinitely.

I recommend not handling hosting for clients or paying for their domain. Instead, suggest a reliable hosting platform and take care of the setup, DNS, and so on according to their needs. After that, you can offer maintenance on an hourly basis. This way, you avoid legal headaches that could arise if a client fails to pay for their domain or hosting.

I usually have my clients create a Cloudflare account where they manage their own billing. This way, I can just deploy the site there without worrying about hosting it myself. Also, consider using simpler tools than React for landing pages, like plain JavaScript or Alpine.js, unless you really need the complexity.
