Two-Stage Revision Policy & Scope Guidelines

Every bespoke project at Creative Yadley includes a disciplined two-stage revision framework. This structure eliminates "revision purgatory," keeps delivery dates predictable, and gives you direct creative control over the work at the exact right moments in the production cycle.


Why Two Focused Cycles?

Endless, unstructured rounds of revisions are the #1 cause of project delays and budget blowouts across the design industry.

By separating Structure & Flow from Aesthetic Polish, we ensure decisions are made methodically: first we get the building's architecture right, then we paint and furnish it.


The Two Revision Cycles Explained

Revision Cycle 1 — Layout & Structure (The Foundation)

Once our design team completes the initial build, you will receive a private review link. In this stage, you review:

  • Page Architecture & Wireframe Flow: Are the sections in the most compelling commercial order?
  • Content Placement & Visual Hierarchy: Does the copy lead the visitor smoothly toward the call-to-action?
  • Feature Completeness: Are all agreed forms, booking buttons, and core elements present?
Goal of Cycle 1: Lock in the layout, section sequence, and overall page structure. Once Cycle 1 is approved, structural layout changes are finalized so our team can focus entirely on craft and polish.

Revision Cycle 2 — Final Polish (The Details)

After structural adjustments from Cycle 1 are implemented, you receive the refined version for final review:

  • Typography & Spacing Balance: Fine-tuning line heights, font weights, and vertical spacing.
  • Micro-Interactions & Styling: Hover states, button transitions, and visual accents.
  • Minor Copy & Asset Swaps: Small text updates, image positioning, or icon refinements.
Goal of Cycle 2: Achieve pixel-perfect visual polish and sign off for live deployment.

What Is Considered "Out of Scope"?

The 2 revision cycles are designed to refine the agreed project scope. Revisions do not cover net-new work or retroactive structural changes after previous signoff.

Examples of Out-of-Scope Requests:

  • Adding new pages or custom sections not included in the original project specification.
  • Requesting a complete redesign of page layout or color schemes after Cycle 1 has been approved.
  • Adding new functional features (e.g., custom web application logic, third-party payment gateways, complex multi-step calculators) that were not part of the initial contract.
  • Major content rewrites that alter the fundamental structure of the site.

How Are Scope Expansions Handled?

If you decide during production that your business needs an extra page, additional integrations, or advanced custom features:

  1. No Delays to Base Sprint: We never pause your core deliverable.
  2. Transparent Add-on Quote: Your project lead provides a fixed-price add-on quote and timeline adjustment.
  3. Execution: Upon approval, the additional scope is executed either as an extension of the current sprint or as a scheduled Phase 2 release.
