They are handled differently.
A revision changes something already covered by the approved scope. A bug is delivered behaviour that does not match that scope. Covered bug fixes do not consume an included revision round.
01Commission process
Twelve stages.
One clear path from enquiry to support.
The commission process keeps scope, payment, revisions, approval, delivery and support clear from the first enquiry onward.
-
01
Initial enquiry
Explain the requirement
The client contacts NDev Studios with the project purpose, requested features, references, budget guidance, preferred timeframe and any known requirements.
-
02
Discovery and clarification
Confirm scope and limitations
The project is discussed in detail so requirements, deliverables, exclusions, access needs, risks, dependencies and practical limitations can be understood before quoting.
-
03
Proposal and quotation
Receive the written proposal
The written proposal confirms the scope, exclusions, estimated schedule, fixed quotation, payment structure, two included revision rounds and support period.
-
04
Approval and initial payment
Formally accept the commission
The client accepts the proposal and relevant terms in writing. The required initial payment is then made through a GBP Stripe invoice, and development begins only after the required payment clears.
-
05
Project setup
Prepare the workspace
The project record, development workspace and official communication channel are prepared, with references, credentials and required materials collected before active development.
-
06
Development
Build to the approved specification
NDev Studios builds the approved system and provides progress updates through the project channel. Larger commissions may use milestones where they are defined in the accepted quotation.
-
07
Testing and internal review
Verify functionality and reliability
The work is tested against the approved requirements for functionality, reliability, security and compatibility, with identified faults corrected before client review.
-
08
Client review and revisions
Preview and provide feedback
The client receives a preview or test version and submits grouped feedback. Up to two revision rounds are included for changes that remain within the approved scope.
-
09
Final approval and payment
Approve the completed work
Once the completed work is approved, the remaining balance becomes due under the accepted quotation. New features or major scope changes are quoted separately.
-
10
Delivery and handover
Deploy or deliver the project
After cleared final payment, the completed work is delivered or deployed with the agreed files, documentation, configuration details and setup or usage instructions.
-
11
Support period
Activate 30 days of included support
The included 30-day support period begins when the client receives, tests and activates the project, or automatically seven days after delivery if activation is not confirmed.
-
12
Project completion
Close and archive the commission
After the support period ends and any outstanding covered issues are resolved, the commission is closed. Further development or new features begin as a new request or quotation.
That is a scope change.
A new system, major redesign or additional feature outside the accepted scope requires a written scope change, separate quotation or new commission before that work begins.
Development is paused.
The commission pauses after 14 days without a required response and may close after 30 days following written notice.
