Deliverables Timeline

Design Mockup/Concept Count

Number of initial design concepts presented for client selection. More concepts give the client more choice but increase design time.

Included Revision Rounds *

Each "round" is a complete review-and-feedback cycle. 2–3 rounds is standard. Additional rounds should be charged separately.

Hosting Setup Included

Hosting Duration Select... 1 month 3 months 6 months 12 months

Duration of hosting included in the project fee. After this period, the client assumes hosting costs or renews with you.

Domain Registration Included

SSL Certificate Included

Client Training/Tutorial Included

Basic SEO Optimization Included

Project Start Date *

Date the designer will begin work. Typically after the deposit is received and client materials are provided.

Target Completion Date *

Estimated date for project delivery. Note that delays due to slow client feedback are typically excluded from completion obligations.

Milestone 1

Name the first key deliverable (e.g., "Wireframes approved", "Homepage design finalized"). Milestones trigger partial payments and keep the project on track.

Milestone 1 Date

Target date for the first milestone. Used to track project progress and calculate delay penalties if applicable.

Payment Rights

Total Project Cost ($) *

Full fixed-price fee for the project as scoped. Changes in scope should be handled via a written change order, not informal agreement.

Upfront Deposit ($)

Typically 25–50% of the total. Protects the designer from non-payment and signals the client's commitment to the project.

Payment Schedule * Select... Full payment upfront 50% upfront / 50% on completion By milestone Monthly installments Upon completion

50/50 splits are most common for web design. "Upon completion" is risky for designers — consider requiring a deposit to reduce non-payment risk.

Cost Per Additional Page ($)

Rate for pages added beyond the initial scope. Defining this upfront prevents scope disputes when the client asks for "just one more page."

Post-Launch Maintenance Included

Maintenance Period Select... 30 days 60 days 90 days 6 months 12 months

Free bug fixes are typically offered for 30–90 days post-launch. After this window, maintenance should be billed under a separate retainer agreement.

Source Files Ownership * Select... Client owns all files Designer retains rights Shared ownership

Clarifying who owns the source files (PSD, Figma, HTML) prevents disputes if the client wants to hire a different developer later.

Usage Rights * Select... Exclusive rights to client Non-exclusive license Limited use

Exclusive rights prevent the designer from reusing elements for other clients. Non-exclusive licenses let designers reuse templates or components — common for lower-cost projects.

Designer May Use in Portfolio

Governing Law (State) * Select... Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming

State whose laws govern this agreement. Typically the designer's home state or the state where the client's business is registered.
