DIY or Professional? Decision Worksheet
Run each change through four questions to separate safe edits from ones that need professional help.
Step 1
Define the goal
You’ll know which changes are safe to make yourself and which to send to a professional.
Learn the background first: Lesson 09: Which website changes should you handle yourself?
Step 2
Gather information
Collect only what you need for this exercise. Tick each one as you have it ready.
The Site Desk never asks for passwords, card numbers or other secrets. Keep those in a password manager.
Step 3
Follow the instructions
- 1Ask four questions
Could it stop customers reaching me? Does it affect more than one page? Does it involve another company’s system? Can I easily undo it?
- 2Decide
A “yes” to any of the first three, or “no” to the last, means send it to a professional.
- 3Prepare safely
For DIY edits: backup first, one change at a time, check on your phone after.
