Control checkpoints in complex website development

A complex website project cannot be managed by saying “we will move fast”. For an owner, CTO or e-commerce lead, the real question is whether risk is being closed with facts.

At WGP we split delivery into control checkpoints. Before development, we capture the baseline: speed of key pages, catalog and search flows, integrations, roles, migration data and acceptance criteria for the first work slice.

During the project, the client sees a staging link, completed tasks, scope changes and open risks. This makes rewrite decisions less opaque and keeps budget decisions tied to evidence.

Before launch, we run the production checklist: e2e flows, Lighthouse, forms, analytics, rollback path, owner map and a runbook for the client team.

This is especially useful for Bitrix-backed e-commerce, where sales cannot pause for a big rewrite. If you need a safer starting point, see how we work or start with a limited pilot/work slice.

Tell us about the project — we will come back with a base scope and the next verifiable checkpoint.
