A lighter client review workflow
Proofing and revision control for freelancers
Freelancers need enough structure to protect their time without making every client learn a complex platform. Revision Desk keeps the commercial and review parts of a project together: the original baseline, private deliveries, confirmed feedback rounds, out-of-scope requests, additional fees, and final approval.
Small projects still create costly ambiguity
A fixed-price job absorbs repeated small requests.
Feedback arrives after the client said a round was complete.
A friend or colleague joins the review without a clear final decision maker.
The freelancer spends unpaid time reconstructing what was approved.
A client-friendly freelance workflow
Step 1
Set expectations once
Record the deliverable, included rounds, scope boundary, deadline, fee rule, and final approver at the start.
Step 2
Send one private link
Give the client a focused review page without asking them to register for another account.
Step 3
Confirm each feedback batch
Ask for consolidated comments and treat the batch as a round only when the client confirms it is complete.
Step 4
Price new work visibly
When feedback changes the agreed deliverable, create a separate change request before doing the additional work.

Frequently asked questions
How can freelancers prevent endless revisions?
Define included rounds, require consolidated feedback, identify a final approver, and price out-of-scope work separately. Consistent operation matters more than a vague “two revisions” sentence.
How can I charge for extra revisions?
Explain the fee rule in advance, identify when a request exceeds scope, show the extra fee and timing, and obtain confirmation before starting the additional work.
Will clients need a Revision Desk account?
No. Private client review links are designed for no-login access.
Can I start with one project?
Yes. The Free plan supports one active project and the core review workflow.
Does Founding Studio renew automatically?
No. Founding Studio is a one-time US$39 payment for 90 days and does not automatically renew.
