Website Redesign Statement of Work Template

A website redesign statement of work brings the agreed project details into one record: what is being delivered, who is responsible, how it will be reviewed and which commercial decisions still need agreement.

The template below is a planning worksheet, not a complete legal contract. Keep legal terms in the appropriate reviewed agreement rather than assuming a generic template covers them.

1. Project details

• Project name:
• Client:
• Service provider:
• Current website:
• Version and date:
• Related proposal or agreement:
• Client decision-maker:

2. Purpose

• Design reference or current preview:

• Open decisions:

Attach the scope of work worksheet if the details need their own table. Use a versioned reference so later edits do not silently change what was agreed.

4. Milestones

Adjust these milestones to the work. A small project may combine reviews; a larger one may need separate content or workflow decisions.

5. Responsibilities

• Client supplies or approves:
• Provider creates and configures:
• Person authorizing access to existing tools:
• Person checking content accuracy:
• Person consolidating feedback:

6. Review checks

The review will confirm that:

• The agreed pages and content are present.
• Important links and navigation reach the intended destinations.
• Named customer journeys work as described.
• Imported information is checked by the responsible person.
• The agreed mobile and accessibility checks are completed.
• Relevant URL and SEO changes are reviewed.
• Remaining items are recorded with an owner and decision.

7. Commercial decisions to record

• Agreed service fee and what it covers:
• Payment schedule:
• Platform subscription responsibility:
• Other service subscriptions or approved expenses:
• Agreed handling of additional work:
• Ongoing service scope and fees:
• Reference to the applicable agreement:

These are fields to complete, not suggested payment or legal terms.

8. Decision record

• Scope version approved:
• Outstanding items accepted for later:
• Approval recorded by:
• Approval date:

Make review criteria specific

Record the approved design direction alongside practical checks for the website’s content and features. Include the brand elements, imagery and representative page layouts the client has reviewed, so design quality remains part of the delivery.

For a booking website, that might mean a customer can choose the correct location, see the relevant services, complete a booking and receive confirmation. For a resource website, it might mean a member can sign in and reach the correct materials.

Keep business ambitions separate from delivery checks. A website can satisfy its agreed scope without guaranteeing future traffic or revenue.

Use the same project through delivery

In Revamp, your team can create a professional redesign, refine it through chat or visual editing, and build the remaining pages and features in one project. Share its preview at the agreed milestones so the client can review the actual website, then publish when authorized.

New requests can be built later without starting another website project. Your agency and client decide how that ongoing work fits their service arrangement.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a scope of work?

The scope describes the work. This worksheet also organizes milestones, responsibilities, commercial decisions and the approval record.

Can the preview be referenced?

Yes. Record what the preview is being approved for and keep the written requirements alongside it. Approving the visual direction is not automatically permission to publish.

Should this replace our existing client agreement?

No. Use it to organize project details within your established agreement and review process.
