Checklist & template

Ready for the client review?

By Piotr, founder of Voicedot

Check before sharing the site, then again before handing over the changes. This covers the review process, not a full QA, accessibility, security or legal audit.

Before sharing the website

  • The review link opens the intended version.
  • The reviewer has the access needed to use it.
  • The pages and goal of this round are named.
  • Deliberately unfinished areas are identified.
  • The reviewer knows where to leave comments.
  • The deadline and decision owner are clear.
  • The review surface does not expose information the reviewer should not see.

As the comments come in

  • Each comment can be connected to a page or element.
  • The expected outcome is clear enough to discuss.
  • Missing details have a specific follow-up question.
  • Conflicting requests have a decision owner.
  • Defects, preferences and new scope are distinguished.
  • The original comment remains available alongside any summary.

Ready to make the changes?

  • The intended change has been agreed.
  • Open questions are not disguised as instructions.
  • The developer or agent can reach the relevant context.
  • Someone knows how to check the result.
  • The person making the change knows what is outside this round.

Before closing the round

  • The relevant changes have been checked.
  • The reviewer knows what changed and what is still open.
  • Anything that needs a further decision is recorded.
  • Formal project acceptance is handled separately where required.
