Understanding Revisions
What is a Revision?
A revision is a change or adjustment to work that's been delivered. It's your opportunity to refine the work until it perfectly matches your vision.
Revisions Include:
- Design adjustments
- Content changes
- Layout modifications
- Color or font updates
- Functionality fixes
- Mobile responsiveness tweaks
What's NOT a Revision
These are new requests, not revisions:
- Adding features not in original request
- Creating new pages
- Completely different design direction
- New functionality
- Scope expansion
Rule of Thumb: If it changes what was delivered, it's a revision. If it adds something new, it's a new request.

Writing Effective Revision Requests
Be Specific and Clear
❌ Vague: "Make it look better"
✅ Specific: "Increase headline font size from 36px to 48px and change color to #333333"
Use Measurements
❌ Vague: "Make the logo bigger"
✅ Specific: "Increase logo width from 150px to 200px"
Provide Context
❌ Unclear: "Fix the button"
✅ Clear: "The 'Submit' button on the contact form isn't working on mobile - it doesn't respond to taps on iPhone"
Include Examples
- Attach screenshots showing issues
- Circle or annotate problem areas
- Share reference links for desired look
- Provide before/after examples
Revision Request Template
Effective Revision Request Example:
"Thanks for the landing page! It's looking great. Here are the revisions needed:
Design Changes:
- Change headline from 'Welcome' to 'Transform Your Business with AI'
- Increase hero image height by 30% (currently feels too short)
- Move CTA button to center instead of left-aligned
Color Adjustments:
- Change primary button color from blue (#0066CC) to green (#00AA00)
- Update link color to match new button color
Mobile Issues:
- Menu isn't closing after clicking link on iPhone (screenshot attached)
- Hero text is too small on mobile - increase from 24px to 32px
Content:
- Replace placeholder text in features section with attached copy
Everything else looks perfect! Let me know if you need clarification on anything."

- Try different browsers
- Have others review
- Verify all changes made
4. Provide Feedback Promptly
- Review completed work within 48 hours
- Don't let requests sit for weeks
- Faster feedback = faster completion
5. Be Constructive
