View a project scope exampleChoose a statement of work template
A statement of work turns a project into a defined set of deliverables: what will be delivered, who provides the inputs, when it is due, and how the client will review it. Choose a template, then replace the sample details with your agreed project scope.
Statement of work example: a three-page website design
This fictional project separates the design work from development. The sample scope is not a complete agreement; add the parties, fees, payment schedule, and other terms agreed for your own project.
- Project and scope
- Design three website pages: Home, Services, and Contact. Use the client-approved copy and existing brand assets.
- Deliverables
- Three desktop layouts, three mobile layouts, an editable design file, and a PDF review copy.
- Milestones
- Wireframes on October 16, 2026; first design review on October 23; final handoff on October 30. Confirm these dates after receiving the client materials.
- Review and acceptance
- The client project lead checks all six layouts against the approved copy and page list. Include two consolidated revision rounds and written approval before final handoff.
- Out of scope
- Website development, hosting, copywriting, a new logo, and extra pages are not included in this design-only example.
- Changes and dependencies
- The client supplies copy and brand assets before wireframes begin. Record requests for extra pages or revision rounds and agree on any fee and schedule changes before starting them.
Statement of work questions
What should a statement of work template include?
Include the project objective, client and provider, scope, deliverables, milestones, review criteria, responsibilities, exclusions, and agreed fees or payment milestones. Describe a concrete output for each deliverable so both parties can check what has been completed.
Is a statement of work the same as a statement of account?
No. A statement of work describes the work to be delivered for a project. A statement of account summarizes invoices, payments, credits, and the balance for a customer account over a billing period.
