Setting up CMS logins for a florist

12 Oct 2025

How a florist deals with CMS logins — and what usually goes wrong.

The problem: an SPF record overwritten during a DNS edit. This breaks CMS logins for a florist.

When we onboard a florist, the first thing we check is CMS logins. It tells us more about the previous provider than any sales call.

For a florist, we wrote a three-line script that checks CMS logins every morning and emails the owner if anything changes. Total cost: zero.

For a florist, the boring path won: HTTPS, a backup that we have restored once on purpose, and a calendar reminder for CMS logins.

A static site for a florist does not need a CDN, a build pipeline, or a container. It needs correct CMS logins and a host that stays online.

The job started when a florist realised their CMS logins had been wrong for months. Nobody noticed because the site still loaded.

a florist asked us to look at CMS logins after a customer screenshot showed a browser warning. The fix took eleven minutes; finding the cause took two hours.

When a florist asked for a quote on CMS logins, we sent a one-paragraph email instead of a slide deck. They signed the same day.
