See the web designers workflow in Experi →
  • Website/project and PO reference
  • Stage or billing period
  • Deliverables and approved changes
  • Third-party costs and ongoing services identified

Watch out: Avoid charging ongoing maintenance before the agreed start date, or rebilling third-party licences the client pays directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a web design invoice include?

Break down the project into clear phases: design, development, content setup, testing, and launch. Include any recurring costs such as hosting or maintenance separately so the client understands one-off vs ongoing charges.

How should I handle milestone payments for web projects?

It is common to split payments into milestones, e.g. 30% deposit, 30% on design approval, and 40% on launch. Issue a separate invoice for each milestone with a clear description of what has been delivered.

Can I charge for revisions beyond the agreed scope?

Yes, clearly state in your contract and invoice how many revision rounds are included. Additional revisions should be charged at an agreed hourly rate or per-revision fee, invoiced separately.

Do I need to charge VAT on web design services?

Only if you are VAT registered (turnover above £90,000). If registered, charge 20% VAT on all UK-based services. For clients outside the UK, different VAT rules may apply - check the reverse charge mechanism.
