The goal is not more process for its own sake. The goal is a usable record of intent, evidence, and ownership that helps WebsiteDesignOutsource.com support recurring website work.
Start with the decision to be made
Write down the business outcome, audience, page or workflow in scope, and the decision the next reviewer must make. A concise outcome gives the designer and requester a common reference when details change.
Prepare the production inputs
Gather approved copy, brand references, source files, access requirements, examples, and known constraints. If an input is missing, record the owner and the next date for resolving it rather than hiding the gap in a chat thread.
Review with evidence
Ask for a link, screenshot, source file, or test note that shows what changed. Review one concern at a time and distinguish a required correction from a future idea. This keeps feedback actionable and makes the final handoff easier to audit.
Close the handoff
A task is ready to close when the agreed checks pass, the final files have a named owner, and any follow-up work is recorded separately. This creates a clean queue for the next article, page, or website update.

What should be approved before production starts?

Use one brief, one visible task record, and one final evidence check. Add detail when the work needs it, but keep the default workflow easy to repeat.
