    What is a freelance design invoice template used for?

    A freelance design invoice is a simple way to bill clients for design work provided by specialist freelancers or small business designers.

    A freelance design invoice should also be a marketing document. It must include the brand as a logo and be clear and elegant. A professional, detailed invoice will help your customers make your payments on time.

    Independent design invoices can be used by:

    • Graphic designers
    • User Experience (UX) Designers
    • Interior designers
    • fashion designers
    • Website designers
    • Photographers
    • Video editors
    • Multimedia artists and animators.
    • Animation designers
    • Motion Graphics Designers
    • Industrial product designers.

    Freelance designers can quickly invoice their clients using any of these methods:

    • Hourly rate
    • Project-Based Pricing

    A freelance design invoice includes fields that allow you to add your hourly rate and number of hours worked and calculate the subtotal. Or you can plug in your flat rate service rate and add them together to find the total. A detailed description of each service must also be included.

    This way, the customer knows exactly what they are paying for and is more likely to send payment on time.

    How to create a freelance design invoice?

    Download the free template and simply enter the services provided, along with the cost. Personalize it by adding your logo or a personalized message to the customer.

    Follow these instructions to start creating your invoice:

    • Download your freelance design invoice template
    • Add your contact details: company name, last name, address, email address and phone number. This way, the customer knows exactly how to contact us if they have any questions.
    • Insert your logo, if you have one 
    • Fill in your client's details, such as business and contact details.
    • Add a unique invoice number, invoice issue date, and payment due date.
    • Add the services provided and add a description of each. Be specific. “Design three options for the new company logo” is better than just writing “Logo”.
    • Add prices for each service, either a project rate or an hourly rate (multiply your rate by the number of hours worked)
    • Add sales tax, if necessary. 
    • Add anything that affects the total, such as a discount or balance owed.
    • Calculate the total
    • Add payment terms at the bottom, such as late fees and accepted payment methods. Add account information, such as PayPal ID, international transfer details.
    • Send the complete invoice by email, Djaboo, or print it and send it by regular mail.

    A well-designed, detailed and clear invoice eliminates confusion. The ready-to-use invoice template manages your information, so it's easy to track all your financial transactions.

    Since branding helps independent designers move forward with precision, you may also consider adding a personalized message to your client. Simply compliment them on their work and let them know you look forward to working with them in the future. 

    Invoice Types for Freelance Designers

    Maybe you're doing freelance design or working with a long-time client on an ongoing basis. The complexity and urgency of the project will determine the type of invoice you choose.

    Selecting the right invoice template will speed up your invoicing process and provide clarity for the customer. Here are the most common types of invoices in freelance design:

    Standard invoice:  the most primary invoice format is customized for all types of projects and pricing structures.

    Automatic invoice:  Also called recurring invoice. A great option if you charge your clients the same amount each billing cycle for the same work.

    Prepaid bill:  This invoice is used to charge your client a deposit or hold future work.

    Progressive bill:  used for long-term projects where you invoice the client in stages.
