Revisions are a natural part of the design process. This guide explains how to effectively request changes to ensure your design project meets your expectations while maintaining a positive working relationship with your talent.
On HomeRender, revisions are an essential part of the design process that help ensure the final product meets your needs:
What are revisions?
Revisions are modifications to a design that's been delivered but doesn't fully meet your requirements or expectations.
Included revisions
Most offers on HomeRender include a specific number of revision rounds in the base price. This information is displayed on the offer page before you place an order.
Revision limits
Each revision request counts as one round, regardless of how many individual changes are requested within that round.
Additional revisions
If you need more revisions than what's included in the offer, talents may offer extra revisions as paid add-ons.
Note: The revision policy for each service is determined by the talent and should be clearly stated in their offer. Review this information before placing your order.
Knowing when to request revisions can help you get the most out of the design process:
After initial delivery
Once the talent delivers the first version of the work, review it carefully and compile all your feedback for your first revision request.
When the design doesn't match requirements
If specific elements from your original requirements are missing or incorrectly implemented, this is a valid reason for a revision.
For minor adjustments
Small changes like color adjustments, repositioning elements, or updating text can be addressed through revisions.
Before requesting cancellation
If you're considering cancellation due to dissatisfaction, it's usually better to first attempt to resolve issues through the revision process.
Important: You have 3 days after delivery to request revisions or approve the work. After this period, the order will be automatically marked as complete.
To get the best results from your revision requests, follow these best practices:
Be specific and clear
Clearly articulate what you'd like changed and why. Vague feedback like "make it better" isn't helpful; instead, specify exactly what elements need adjustment.
Provide visual references
When possible, include visual examples or mockups to illustrate your vision. This helps the talent understand your preferences more accurately.
Consolidate feedback
Rather than sending multiple individual requests, compile all your feedback into a single, organized revision request to maximize the value of each revision round.
Prioritize changes
If you have multiple changes, indicate which ones are most important to ensure the talent focuses on the most critical aspects first.
Be constructive
Frame your feedback in a positive, solution-oriented manner. Explain not just what you don't like but what would work better for your needs.
Pro tip: Use annotations on images to pinpoint specific areas for revision. This makes your feedback more precise and actionable.
Here's a step-by-step guide to requesting and managing revisions on HomeRender:
Review the delivery
Once the talent delivers the work, carefully review all aspects of the design.
Access the order page
Go to your Orders page and select the order requiring revisions.
Click "Request Revisions"
This button appears after a delivery has been made. It will open a revision request form.
Provide detailed feedback
Write clear instructions for the changes you'd like to see. You can also attach images to better illustrate your points.
Submit the request
Once you've provided all necessary feedback, submit your revision request.
Wait for the talent's response
The talent will receive your request and work on implementing the changes within the agreed timeframe.
Review the revised delivery
When the talent delivers the revised work, review it to ensure your feedback has been addressed.
If you need more revisions than what's included in your original order:
Check your remaining revisions
The order page shows how many revision rounds you have left. Use them wisely.
Purchasing additional revisions
If you've used all included revisions but still need changes, check if the talent offers additional revisions as a paid extra on the order page.
Custom offers
For substantial changes that go beyond the scope of simple revisions, the talent may suggest a custom offer for the additional work.
Communication is key
Discuss your needs with the talent openly. Most are willing to find solutions that work for both parties.
Important: Major changes that significantly alter the project scope may require a new order rather than a revision. Examples include changing a bathroom design to a kitchen design or completely redesigning a finished 3D render with different furniture.
These strategies can help you get the most out of the revision process:
Provide comprehensive initial requirements
The clearer your initial requirements are, the fewer revisions you'll likely need. Take time to detail your needs when placing the order.
Establish open communication
Maintain regular communication with your talent throughout the process. Ask questions if you're unsure about anything.
Be realistic
Understand that some changes might be beyond the scope of your current order or may require additional time or budget.
Show appreciation
Acknowledge when the talent successfully implements your feedback. Positive reinforcement can lead to better outcomes.
Learn from the process
Use each revision round as a learning experience to refine your ability to communicate design needs effectively.
In some cases, the revision process might not resolve all issues:
When to consider cancellation
If after multiple revision attempts the design still doesn't meet your basic requirements, you may consider requesting cancellation through the Support Center.
Working with Support
If you and the talent cannot agree on revisions or deliverables, HomeRender Support can mediate and help find a resolution.
Partial acceptance
In some cases, you might accept a portion of the work that meets your needs while seeking adjustments for other aspects.
Remember: Most design disagreements can be resolved through clear communication and reasonable compromises. Approach revision discussions with a collaborative mindset.
