Why it works
Flexibility for any web project
This template covers discovery, design, prototyping, and handoff, so you can reuse it for small redesigns or full site builds.
Clear milestones reduce back-and-forth
Well-defined milestones and acceptance criteria help you lock in approvals and minimize scope creep.
Accessible by all stakeholders
The structured sections ensure the client, PM, and design team stay aligned from kickoff to delivery.
