About the template
What this web designer quote template covers and why it wins more projects
Web design quotes lose work when they read as a single project total with no phase breakdown. A business owner comparing three quotes picks the one that itemises discovery, design, build, content migration, integrations, and aftercare. Detail lets them see where the money goes and reduces scope arguments later.
The template itemises a 10-page marketing site: discovery and sitemap workshop, design across 4 templates, build and CMS setup, copy editing across 10 pages, contact form and Google Analytics, and 30 days of post-launch aftercare.
What to include
Every web designers quote should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your quote from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on web designers quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Quoting one project total with no phases
Better: Itemise discovery, design, build, and aftercare. Lets the client see where money goes.
Mistake: Revision rounds not capped
Better: State '2 revision rounds per template'. Without a cap, scope creep destroys margin.
Mistake: Content responsibility unclear
Better: State 'client provides copy in editable Google Doc'. If copywriting is needed, quote separately.
Mistake: No aftercare period stated
Better: 30 days of post-launch fixes is industry standard. State the SLA and what counts as 'fix' versus 'new work'.
Mistake: Stage payments not defined
Better: 50% deposit, 30% on design sign-off, 20% on launch. Without stages, you carry all risk.
Mistake: Hosting and domain ownership unclear
Better: State who owns the hosting account, domain, and any third-party subscriptions. Critical for the client to maintain control after handover.

PDF works on WhatsApp, but most web projects warrant an email with the quote attached and a Loom walking through the proposal.
Best practice: the client owns the domain and hosting account in their own name. We get admin access. Protects the client's asset ownership.
