Did you know one of the best perks of our Pro+, Pro+1, and Pro+2 hosting plans is your dedicated monthly development time? Depending on your plan, you have anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours set aside each month specifically to keep your website fresh, effective, and up-to-date.
But how do you make sure you are getting the absolute most out of that included time? The secret is all in how you submit your change requests!
Here are our team’s top tips for sending clear, actionable requests that save you time, stretch your budget further, and get your updates published faster.
1. Gather Your Thoughts (and Keep It to Email!)
We want to spend your dedicated time making your website look amazing, not sorting through scattered messages! Change requests buried in long email threads or sent across multiple platforms can quickly eat into your available development time.
Take a few moments to organize your thoughts and make a clear list of what you need before reaching out.
Pro Tip: Always send your change requests via email to Support@CircleCityWebDesign.com. While texting is great for a quick hello, sending updates via email ensures none of your important changes get lost in the shuffle.
2. Review and Highlight Your Priorities
Before hitting send, take a quick stroll through your website and see what needs some love.
-
Are there any recent personnel changes?
-
Do you have new company news, seasonal hours, or upcoming events?
Once you have your wish list, prioritize it for us! Let us know which changes are the most critical to your business right now so we can be sure to tackle those first.
3. The Magic is in the Details
The more specifics you can share with us, the faster we can bring your vision to life.
-
Time-Sensitive? If a change has a strict deadline (like an upcoming sale), tell us upfront so we can put it at the top of our queue.
-
Location Matters: Always specify exactly which page (or pages) need updates. If you want a new picture added, let us know exactly where you’d like it to live!
4. Bundle Your Requests Together
To truly maximize your allocated time, try to bundle all your planned changes together into one single email.
We completely understand that sometimes an extra email is necessary if a sudden change pops up! But grouping your core requests into one “master list” helps us work incredibly efficiently on your behalf. Don’t forget to attach or link any updated images we might need, too!
Why This Matters for You
At the end of the day, our primary goal is to maximize your investment. When we receive clear, organized, and bundled requests, we don’t have to spend your valuable time hunting down details. Instead, we can dive right into the work, which gets your updates live faster and ultimately saves you money.
