Ten practical guides for the decisions around the design work.
A website quote checklist that includes the invisible work
A five-page website is more than five pages of design. Count the work around the pages before you set a fixed fee.
How to define a revision round for a website project
“Two rounds of revisions” only helps when both people understand what a round contains.
How to price an extra website page
One extra page may reuse a template, or it may introduce a new design, content type and workflow. Price the actual work.
A scope-change email that gives the client clear options
An extra request does not have to become a confrontation. Explain the change, its cost and the available choices.
What extra revisions do to your effective hourly earnings
A fixed price can stay unchanged while the amount you earn for each hour keeps falling.
What to do when website content arrives late
Content delays become expensive when the delivery date stays fixed but the inputs keep changing.
Fixed fee or hourly billing for a small website project?
Choose the pricing method that matches how well the work can be defined, not just the method that sounds easier to sell.
A website handover checklist for freelance designers

A solo designer may need a reliable record of decisions before they need another subscription.
