What counts as a revision, and what counts as new work?
One confusing part of freelance work is revisions.
Sometimes a client asks for a small change.
Sometimes they ask for a completely new direction, new content, a new layout, or a different version of the same work.
Before work starts, how do you define what counts as a revision?
For example:
- fixing small mistakes
- changing wording or layout
- adding new sections
- changing the original brief
- asking for a different direction
- requesting another version after approval
Where do you personally draw the line between a revision and new work?
