FREE PROJECT STATUS UPDATE TEMPLATE
A practical project status update template with room for progress, risks and the decision you need next.
Editable Markdown. No email required.
The homepage layout is ready for review. Desktop and mobile checks are complete.
Final product photography is still outstanding. Placeholder images remain in the draft.

Please review the homepage and send consolidated feedback by the agreed review date.
MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU
Tell the client what is different since the previous update. Keep the summary short and support material statements with links to the relevant work. A useful update helps a reader understand progress without reconstructing it from a list of tasks.
State what is blocked, what the impact could be and who owns the next action. Distinguish a confirmed problem from an assumption you are checking. Avoid presenting a target date as a commitment when a dependency is still unresolved.
Name the decision or input you need, its owner and the agreed response date. The download includes both an empty structure and a worked example. Review each update before sending it and keep the client's response connected to the same project.
No. This is a narrative project status report. It covers delivery progress, risks and next steps; it does not calculate campaign metrics or pull advertising data.
Yes. The Markdown download includes placeholders and a worked example. Adapt the sections to your engagement and your client's preferred level of detail.
Agree a cadence with your client based on the pace of the work. Weekly is a useful starting point for active projects, but a time-sensitive blocker may need a separate message sooner.
