Client website governance is the system of rules that prevents chaos on live client sites. Most teams think governance means slow processes or policy documents that block work. On client sites, it means something different. It means clear boundaries, visible ownership, and reversible changes that keep production stable.
Agencies get blamed when changes break production because ownership is unclear. The problem isn't the change itself. The problem is that no one knows who decided what or who approved it. Governance fixes that by defining decision rights and approval paths upfront.
