Approved Record Change Control
A draft quote can remain editable until approval, then selected values can be protected.
How the Approved Record Change Control can work
If a correction is needed, the application can require an authorised action and preserve what changed and why. I can tailor which fields close at each stage, because a status alone does not solve every business rule.
Locking rows in Excel and protecting ranges in Google Sheets can help. To capture the reason for a post-approval change and retain the prior version, the app can provide a dedicated correction path.
As Oğuz Erol, I develop custom web apps for this workflow. After reviewing approval and correction rules, I aim to prepare an initial working flow quickly; the quote process defines the scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an approved quote ever be changed?
An authorised correction path can be provided and the earlier values can be retained where the process requires it.
Can we require a reason for a correction?
Yes. Selected stages can require an explanation that appears in the review history.

How do I work?
Work-hour packages
Tell me about your website and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend has a lasting result on your site. We keep going for as long as you find it useful.
Why not monthly?
Is 40 hours a week?
On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back.
