Web freelancers
Freelance web design change orders should feel normal, not hostile.
When a client adds new pages, checkout, auth, CMS work, SEO setup, or another redesign round, send a clear change order with price, timeline, and approval.
Use change orders for new functionality, new deliverables, and extra rounds.
Use revisions for improving work already included.
Use approval links so the project stays calm and documented.
Common web requests that are change orders
Login systems, checkout flows, new landing pages, blog migrations, CMS setup, analytics, SEO implementation, third-party integrations, and extra revision rounds are all common candidates.
The copy should keep the relationship intact
The best line is simple: I can absolutely do that; it is outside our original scope, so I put together the change order for approval before I start.
The approval should be easier than the argument
ScopeApproval gives the client a packet they can review and approve without making an account. That keeps momentum without making you absorb the cost.
