Status Pages for Digital Agencies
Deliver monitoring as part of every web project
Digital agencies that ship monitoring alongside every website build a reputation for operational excellence. This service guide explains how to make status pages a standard part of your delivery process.
Instant setup for new projects
Create a status page for a client site in under 5 minutes — before the project even goes live.
Five check types in one tool
HTTP, TCP, DNS, SSL, and SEO monitoring from a single status page, not five separate dashboards.
Public client-facing URL
Give clients a URL to check during incidents rather than emailing you. Reduces support contact volume.
Showcase of your delivery quality
A monitored status page signals that you stand behind what you build, not just at handover but ongoing.
Making monitoring part of your delivery checklist
The best time to set up a status page is before go-live, not after the first incident. During a website build, add the monitoring URLs as a line item in your delivery checklist. By launch day, the status page should be set up, the client briefed on how to read it, and the URL included in the handover documentation.
What to monitor for a web project delivery
For a standard website build: HTTP check on the main URL, SSL certificate check on the primary domain, DNS check confirming resolution after the domain migration, and an SEO check to catch any PageSpeed or meta tag regressions introduced during launch. For a web application or API: add TCP checks on custom ports and an HTTP check on the API health endpoint.
Using the status page in client communications
Include the status page URL in your project handover email, in the website footer if appropriate, and in any support retainer agreement. When you send monthly reports to retained clients, include a link to their status page and a summary of the check history. This positions monitoring as an ongoing value you deliver, not just a one-time setup.
