Scope & Additional Work
Every project has a defined scope. Here's how to understand what's included and what happens when needs evolve.
What's in scope
Your proposal and service agreement define exactly what's included in your engagement. The deliverables, revision rounds, and timeline are all documented there. If you're ever unsure whether something is included, check your proposal or just ask.
What's outside scope
Anything not listed in your original proposal is considered additional work. Common examples:
- New pages beyond the original page count
- New automation sequences or pipelines
- Additional integrations with third-party tools
- Functionality that wasn't part of the original plan
- Ongoing content creation (beyond what's in your monthly plan)
This isn't about saying no. It's about making sure additional work is scoped, quoted, and approved before it starts, so there are no surprises on either side.
How change requests work
If you need something beyond the original scope during a project:
- Describe what you need. As specifically as possible.
- We'll scope it. You'll receive a description of the work, timeline impact, and cost.
- You approve or decline. No pressure. If it's not the right time, it can be added later.
- Work begins after approval. Nothing is built until the change order is agreed to.
After delivery
Once a project is delivered and you're on a monthly plan, new requests follow the same process. Your plan may include certain types of updates (refer to your proposal). Anything beyond that is scoped as an add-on.
A note on timing
Scope changes during an active build may affect the delivery timeline. The impact is communicated as part of the change request so you can make an informed decision.
