When do I get a delivery estimate for Webflow work?

A pickup window is not a finish date

Every written request is reviewed and picked up on a set window. Urgent requests are reviewed and picked up within 24 hours. Other requests are reviewed and picked up within 48 hours. Those windows are initial response and assessment times. They are not completion deadlines.

The window tells you when the request is taken up. It does not tell you the day the live page will change. A sentence swap and a new section inside the current design do not take the same time, so the same pickup window cannot be a shared finish date for both.

Example: the contact form fails on the live site, and you mark the note urgent. The review starts within 24 hours. That label does not mean the form is already fixed at hour 24. The urgent request guide is the page for which label to use. This page is about the later note that says when larger work can be done.

Larger work gets a date after the scope is read

For larger tasks, an estimated delivery time is shared after the scope is reviewed. The note comes once the request is clear enough to judge: which page, what done looks like, and which assets are final.

That note is about when the work can be done. It is not a second pickup window, and it is not a promise that the change will be live at that moment no matter what the review finds. If the scope is still missing the copy or the page, there is nothing solid to put a date on yet.

Example: you want a new page that follows the current design, with the approved headline, three sections of final copy, and the photos attached. After that packet is read, the written reply can include an estimated delivery time. A line that says 'rebuild the services area sometime' does not give enough scope for that date.

The hours estimate is a different note

The plan includes 10 hours of Webflow work, on one price: $999 per month for an existing Webflow site. Those hours are the time spent on the requests you send during the billing period.

Before work exceeds the included hours, I share a written estimate for the additional time at $75 per hour and ask for your written approval. Additional work only begins after you approve it. That estimate is about extra time and cost. The delivery estimate is about when the scoped work can be done. One note does not stand in for the other.

If the next request is larger than the hours still left, you can approve the extra time, narrow the request so it fits, or leave the extra work unstarted. The extra hours guide is that yes or no. Unused hours expire at the end of each monthly billing period and do not carry over. A quiet week does not move the delivery of a later task into free time.

Write the request so a date is possible

Name the page or the CMS item. Attach final copy and files. Say what done looks like on desktop and on a phone. Say whether the change should wait for your review before it is published.

A useful request looks like this: 'Add a page at /workshop using the current page layout. Use the attached copy and the three photos. Alt text is in the file names. Show me the page on staging before the custom domain is updated.'

A request that still needs a decision inside your team should say so. I will not treat a draft headline as final. The update brief is the closer checklist for a single request. Send that brief in writing. There are no calls or meetings to walk through the scope.

Where the note shows up

Communication is asynchronous and written only, through a shared task board and an agreed written channel. The delivery estimate is written there, after the scope is reviewed. You can reply in that same thread if the date does not match a real deadline on your side, and you can narrow the request.

A new website or a full redesign is a separate project with its own scope and quote. Those are not given a delivery estimate inside the 10 included hours. Your Webflow subscription and hosting stay in your own account.

The Webflow retainer is the monthly plan this timing belongs to. The retainer guide explains which ongoing work the hours cover.
