Clients give feedback based on what they see, not what was planned. To protect your time and profit, you need a clean revision process that defines boundaries, collects feedback properly, and avoids endless changes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbds-cta-row\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/27templates.com\/27t\/website\/sitecrafted-readymade-websites-bundle\/\" class=\"sbds-btn sbds-btn-primary\">Reduce Revisions with Templates<\/a><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/27templates.com\/27t\/help-docs-faqs\/\" class=\"sbds-btn sbds-btn-ghost\">More Agency Guides<\/a>\n      <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>  <!-- SECTION 1: WHY REVISION LOOPS HAPPEN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sbds-section\">\n<div class=\"sbds-row\">\n<div class=\"sbds-num\">1<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"sbds-title-lg\">Why Revision Loops Happen<\/h2>\n<p class=\"sbds-sub\">It\u2019s not design \u2014 it\u2019s clarity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Most revision loops happen before the first pixel is designed.
