• Review pages for accuracy, brand alignment, and functionality before delivery.


• Test for responsiveness, accessibility basics, and overall presentation quality.


• Implement revisions quickly and thoroughly based on internal or client feedback, maintaining documentation of changes and updates.


• Collaborate closely with project managers, designers, and developers to ensure that deliverables meet deadlines, follow process standards, and maintain the high quality expected of all Windmill websites.
