Frequently Asked Questions

How do I invoice for a web design project?

Break the project into milestones (discovery, design, development, testing, launch) and invoice at each stage. Include a detailed scope description, hourly rates or fixed prices per phase, and clear payment terms.

Should I charge hourly or fixed price for web design?

Fixed pricing works well for clearly defined projects. Hourly billing is better for ongoing work or projects with unclear scope. Many designers use a hybrid: fixed price for the initial build, hourly for changes beyond the agreed scope.

What payment terms are standard for web design?

Most web designers require a 30-50% deposit before starting work. The remaining balance is split across milestones or due on project completion. Net 14 is common for the final payment.
