What to put on the quote

  • Deliverables and formats, with sizes for print or screen.
  • Number of concepts and revision rounds.
  • Ownership or licence transfer after full payment.
  • Timeline per stage and client feedback deadlines.

Common mistakes

  • "Unlimited revisions" on the quote.
  • Handing over source files before final payment.
  • No kill fee if the project is cancelled midway.

Deposit, balance and validity

50% upfront, 50% on final approval is standard for small projects. Quote valid for 30 days. Rights transfer on full payment; a kill fee applies if cancelled after concepts are delivered.

Questions people ask

When does the client own the design?

Write that ownership or the licence transfers on full payment.

Do I give source files?

Say which files are included; editable source files are often priced separately.

What is a kill fee?

A fee for work done if the client cancels. State the percentage per stage.
