One Place for the Request, the Work, and the Review.

Start with what needs to change. Keep the website details, the work, and the review in one place.

Start by describing what needs to change. Then keep the details, the work, and the review in one place.

Website work is often spread across messages, documents, task lists, code, reports, and approval emails. That makes it harder to know what was asked for and what has already been done.

Start with the request

A project can begin with a simple conversation: what needs to change, why it matters, and what has already been tried. My Site Buddy keeps that request with the website code, tools, data, and notes for that client.

People do not need to learn a special project system just to add useful information. The request and decisions stay visible as the work moves forward.

Make the work easy to review

When the team prepares a website change, My Site Buddy creates a clear scope, a preview, and a saved code change. The team can see what changed and ask for updates before it goes live.

It is a practical way to move from a request to a website update: tell us what you need, prepare the work, review it, then decide whether to publish it.
