What counts as a revision round

“Two rounds of revisions” is one of the most common promises in web design, and one of the least explained. Buyers fear two things: that a single forgotten detail will cost them a round, and that a round will quietly be spent on something they never asked for. This guide takes the Tidypage rules and walks through them with plain examples, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.

Why two rounds sounds scarier than it is

A revision round is not a single tweak. It is one complete pass: you look at the preview, you gather everything you want changed, and you send it as one request. We apply all of it, and you see the updated preview. That is one round. You can then do the same thing once more.

The practical consequence is that the round rewards preparation. Ten changes sent together cost you one round. Ten changes sent one by one would cost you ten, which is why the process asks you to collect them first.

What one round looks like in practice

Once the preview is shared, your dashboard has a “Request my revision” button. You write everything in one request and send it. The button stays available until both rounds have been used, and then it is disabled, so you can always see where you stand.

A revision covers changes to the design and content of the pages you agreed on: texts, images, colors, layout adjustments and the order of sections.

An example: six changes, one round

Imagine a physiotherapy practice reviewing its preview. In a single request, the owner asks for the following.

1. Replace the photo on the home page with a different one.
2. Change the accent color to a darker green.
3. Rewrite the second paragraph of the about page.
4. Move the opening hours section above the contact form.
5. Swap the order of two services on the services page.
6. Correct the spelling of a street name.

That is six changes and one round. The owner then sees the updated preview, notices that the new photo is too dark, and uses the second round to replace it. Two rounds used, nothing wasted, nothing left ambiguous. This is an illustration of how the rules work, not a customer story.

What does not use up a round

• Our own mistakes. A broken link, a typo we introduced or a layout bug is fixed free of charge. It never counts as a round and never counts as a small edit.
• Correcting the texts before design starts. We share the written texts in your dashboard first. You approve them, or you send one consolidated list of corrections, which we apply before asking again. That step is separate from the two rounds.
• Saying the preview is fine. You are never obliged to use a round. If the preview is right, you can tell us so, and we move to launch.

What a round cannot be spent on

A revision does not cover adding pages, adding features that are excluded from the offer (an online shop, bookings, member areas), or starting the design again from scratch. Those are different jobs. If you ask for one, we tell you plainly and can quote it separately, rather than letting it eat your rounds without saying so.

What happens when both rounds are used, or you stop replying

After the second round, the preview moves toward launch. From the day the site goes live, you have 90 days of small edits: changes that take roughly under an hour, such as replacing a text or an image, changing a color, or reordering sections. We handle up to 10 small edits per calendar month. Larger changes are not included and can be quoted separately.

Timing matters in the other direction too. You are asked to request each round within a set number of days after the preview is shared. If you do not, we send a reminder, and if you still do not respond after the reminder, the current preview counts as approved and we move to launch. The exact number of days is in section 5 of the terms.

How to get the most from two rounds

1. Read the whole preview before writing anything. Open every page, on a phone as well as a computer.
2. Write your list in the order of the pages, so nothing is missed.
3. Be specific. “The green is too bright, try a darker one” is easier to act on than “make it better”.
4. Keep the second round for what the first round reveals, and for a last check of the details.

The full wording is in the terms, and the short version is on the pricing page and in the FAQ.
