Randall,
You only have to follow those steps cpubasics listed if you want him to be able to work on the site from his own computer also. If you're going to do it all, there's no reason to do anything on his computer at all.

Just build it like you build your own. The important thing is making sure his site is in his name, and he owns it. But the agreement is between you as to how you handle the rest.
