Use this page to create an invoice for website design work, from a one-page refresh to a full redesign. The invoice should name the project, identify the designer or studio, identify the client, and show a unique invoice number, issue date, due date, line items, subtotal, applicable tax, total due, and payment notes.
Web designers commonly bill on completion, by an upfront percentage plus final balance, or monthly for longer builds. A practical invoice should match the agreement: deposit invoice for the kickoff, milestone invoice after an approved phase, final invoice at launch, or recurring invoice for ongoing site maintenance and design support.
Each line item should identify the service, quantity, unit price, and line total. A simple web design invoice can use lines such as "Homepage design, fixed fee, $1,200" and "Additional revision hours, 4 hours at $85, $340." Clear line items help the client connect the charge to the approved scope.
Larger projects need stronger tracking. Use invoice numbers for every bill, and add a job code when a full redesign spans discovery, UX design, visual design, development handoff, and launch support. For progress billing, show the paid-to-date portion so the client sees the current invoice in relation to the final project price.
The United States does not use a national VAT or GST invoice regime. For ordinary private-sector invoices, there is no prescribed federal invoice form. Invoices serve as supporting documents for business records, and state and local sales and use tax rules determine whether tax applies to a web design charge.
The tax line should show the rate applied to the subtotal only where tax applies. Service taxability varies by state and service type, so a designer should follow the applicable state and local rule for the sale. Payment terms should state the actual due date agreed for the project, such as 30 days after the issue date, plus accepted payment methods.
A free invoice works well for a single project, a fixed-fee deposit, or a final balance invoice after launch. It also works when the client only needs a PDF with standard fields, a few service lines, a due date, and payment instructions. Keep the invoice consistent with the contract, especially for deposits, scope changes, and licensing lines.
A managed workflow is better when billable hours, expenses, and project phases change throughout the month. Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates while excluding non-billable tasks, supports client defaults and invoice customization, and exports invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.

A web design invoice commonly includes the project title and description, designer or company details, customer details, invoice number, issue date, due date, line items, subtotal, applicable tax, total amount due, and notes or payment terms. Each line item should show the service provided, quantity, unit price, and line total.
The invoice cadence should follow the project agreement. Web design projects commonly use an upfront percentage with the balance due on completion, a milestone schedule tied to approved phases, or monthly invoices for longer builds. Milestone billing gives both sides a cleaner record when discovery, design, revisions, and launch happen across separate dates.
A web design invoice should include sales tax only where the applicable state and local rules require it. The United States has no national VAT or GST invoice regime. Service taxability varies by state and service type, and the tax rate depends on the applicable state and local rate.
Later invoices should show the project price, the amount already paid, and the remaining balance due. This paid-to-date detail prevents the final invoice from looking like a duplicate charge. A deposit can also appear as its own earlier invoice with the same project name and a related invoice number or job code.
Vague line items cause avoidable disputes. A line such as "web design services" gives the client no way to connect the charge to approved work. Use specific scope language, quantities, unit prices, and line totals, especially for revision hours, add-on pages, licensing, usage rights, or work outside the original project scope.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into client invoices, with amounts calculated from rates and billable expenses while non-billable tasks stay excluded. Web design teams can group invoice line items by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown.
Everhour can export invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks as drafts for management in the accounting tool. Invoice status, number, issue date, and amount sync back to Everhour, so billing reports stay connected to the project record.
Track approved web design time by project, exclude non-billable tasks, and generate client invoices from the same records. Everhour connects billing detail to accounting exports and invoice status.
