Handling Revisions Professionally
Revisions are a normal part of freelancing. Handle them well to maintain good client relationships.
Setting Revision Expectations
- Define revision rounds in your contract
- Clarify what constitutes a revision vs. new work
- Document all feedback received
When Scope Creep Happens
If requests exceed the agreed scope:
- Politely acknowledge the request
- Reference the original agreement
- Provide a quote for additional work
- Get approval before proceeding
Maintaining Relationships
Be flexible when reasonable, but protect your time and business. Most clients appreciate clear communication about boundaries.
