Frequently Asked Questions
How do web designers invoice for projects?
Web designers typically use milestone billing: 30-50% upfront to start, 25-30% at design approval, and the remainder upon launch. For large projects, add a mid-development milestone. Magic Invoice makes milestone invoicing simple.
Should I include hosting costs on a web design invoice?
Yes — list hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, and any third-party services as separate line items. You can either pass these through at cost or add a management markup. Being transparent builds client trust.
How do I invoice for ongoing website maintenance?
For monthly maintenance retainers, create a recurring invoice at the start of each month. List the services included (backups, updates, uptime monitoring, support hours) as line items. Magic Invoice lets you create and export these monthly in seconds.
What payment terms should web designers use?
Net 14 is standard for most web design invoices. For the final payment at launch, many designers hold the domain/hosting until paid. Always include your late payment policy on invoices — typically a 1.5% monthly interest charge.
