Making Changes During Your Website Project

Understanding Scope in Your Web Project

Your web project is designed to grow and adapt, just like ideas do. Along the way, you might think of new features or changes. That’s completely normal. To keep things running smoothly and fairly, we use a clear process to decide what happens with new requests.

How scope works

Before we start, we’ll agree together on what’s included in the project. If something new comes up later, we’ll pause and decide together:

  • Can it fit into the current scope?

  • Should we save it for a future phase?

  • Does it mean adjusting the timeline and cost?

This way, your site still launches on time, and your new ideas are not lost. They’re simply cared for in the right way.

What happens when a new request comes up

Here’s the path we follow:

  1. You share a new request or idea.

  2. Check fit: Does it fit within the agreed scope (timeframe + budget)?

    • If yes → We include it now.

    • If no → Go to step 3.

  3. Check size: Is it small enough to add with a slight adjustment?

    • If yes → We agree on what needs to shift (extra time, extra cost, or swapping out another feature).

    • If no → Go to step 4.

  4. Check timing: Does it belong in a future phase instead?

    • If yes → We save it for a later update cycle or “Phase 2.”

    • If no → We pause to re-scope the project before moving forward.


Tip: Write down your new ideas as they come. Even if they don’t make it into this phase, they’ll be ready for the next.
