FAQ
How should I structure my invoice if I bill for both hourly work and fixed project fees?
Separate the two clearly with distinct line items—label one section ‘Project Fee’ with a flat rate for deliverables like a logo or brochure, and another ‘Hourly Work’ with a breakdown of time spent on research, revisions, or extra requests. Include a total for each category and a grand total to avoid confusion. Some templates in this collection include pre-built sections for hybrid billing.
What details should I include under ‘Revision Policy’ to avoid disputes with clients?
Specify the number of free revisions included in your base fee (e.g., ‘3 rounds of revisions for all deliverables’) and charge a per-revision fee for additional changes. Clearly state that major scope changes—like redesigning a logo from scratch—will require a new agreement. Some templates here include a dedicated ‘Revision Terms’ box to make this policy stand out.
Do I need to include a ‘Terms of Payment’ section, and what should it say?
Yes, this protects you by outlining due dates, late fees (e.g., ‘2% monthly interest after 30 days’), and accepted payment methods. A simple template might say, ‘Payment due within 14 days of invoice date via bank transfer or PayPal. Late payments incur a $25 admin fee.’ Always consult a legal professional to tailor terms to your local laws, but these templates provide a starting point.
