The direct answer

Images should be labeled according to what they actually show. A manufacturer example, fictional design and completed client project are different forms of evidence. For this website ownership page, the practical test is whether an authorized maintainer can identify the accounts and records required for the agreed handoff.

Do images accurately represent their source?

Start with an owner considering a future provider change. The image provenance check concerns domain control, publishing access, content delivery and continuing dependencies. Owning content is different from controlling every account or software dependency. A clear explanation separates these without making legal promises beyond the agreement.

For a location network, ownership records should include who controls corporate templates and who approves each branch’s business facts.

Trace a hypothetical provider change through the stated ownership and handoff terms, identifying which access and files would be needed.

  • Identify the source, permission and caption of each prominent image.
  • Check whether nearby words imply an actual project or result.
  • Label demonstrations and manufacturer examples according to their true purpose.

A content transfer was not the same as a working system transfer

Website planning separated content, publishing and application responsibilities. Keeping work inside an existing CMS limited which proposed integrations and external delivery methods were acceptable.

For this website ownership page, the check focuses on domain control, publishing access, content delivery and continuing dependencies. Write down supported capabilities and required accounts before promising a migration, then test the public journey after the agreed handoff.

Repair the source, then check the published result

Use truthful labels and approved attribution, and protect private customer information. Keep useful visual context without presenting a demo as a completed client result.

Record the image provenance result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until an authorized maintainer can identify the accounts and records required for the agreed handoff. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
