Every page on a website should have a version number. We have found this is the best way to keep track of changes to the site. Display the version number at the bottom of the page. The version information should display the application version number, the database version number and optionally the date last updated.

The version number increase and display should be automated to avoid developer error.

Figure: Good example - Version information from SSW TimePRO

Figure: Better example - SSW Website displays Continuous Deployment information including date and changeset
