About the template
What this web designer invoice template covers and why staged billing wins
Web projects run on 3-stage billing: 50% on acceptance, 30% on design sign-off, 20% on launch. This invoice template covers the launch invoice with each phase reconciled and the prior payments shown.
Post-launch fixes within the aftercare period are not on the invoice. Anything beyond aftercare is a separate hourly invoice with the hours logged and dates recorded.
What to include
Every web designers invoice should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your invoice from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on web designers invoices
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: No cumulative paid line
Better: Show 'Less: paid to date' on every stage invoice. Client sees the running total and pays without query.
Mistake: Aftercare not flagged
Better: State 'Aftercare period: 30 days from launch, 4-hour SLA on tickets'. Sets the boundary on what's included.
Mistake: Revision overage not invoiced
Better: If the client exceeded the agreed revision rounds, line item 'Additional revision rounds: 2 x $ 180'. Don't absorb scope creep silently.
Mistake: Source files handover not flagged
Better: State 'design source files (Figma) and codebase access handed over on full payment'. Common dispute point.
Mistake: Recurring subscriptions not separated
Better: Webflow, hosting, plugin subscriptions are recurring costs not your service. Bill those at cost or state who pays directly.
Mistake: Aftercare ticket log missing
Better: If aftercare tickets were handled, list each by date and summary. Reinforces the value of the aftercare period.
