Thoughts on letting him purchase and download a copy of WB and hand over a copy of the working file? Or could put that working file on a shared drive in the cloud?

You'll always be a safety net to send a backup if something breaks.

I also subtract 20px for a scroll bar. Great minds think alike. For the larger breakpoints, I've enlarged the font so it is not so small on a larger screen. That helps fill the space so it looks "good" on larger screens as well as the small ones. :-)
