This page supports the daily job behind web design billing: recording work by client, project, and task before memory fades. Use the same structure for discovery calls, interface layout, prototype changes, development support, browser and device testing, graphics, content updates, and maintenance. A clean log gives you a daily record of where design time went and a weekly total you can defend.
Freelance designers, design agencies, and in-house teams use these records for different handoffs. A freelancer turns entries into service lines, milestone notes, and payment requests. An agency checks budgets, retainer burn, utilization, and client questions. A U.S. employer with designers covered by FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions must keep records that include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Start with fields that match how web design work is sold and reviewed: client, project, page or feature, task type, billable status, date, duration or start and stop time, rate, and a short note. Task types should separate discovery, UI/layout design, prototyping, copy or content updates, development coordination, testing, revisions, and maintenance. For U.S. billing, rate and total fields normally use USD.
A practical entry can read: Client Acme, project ecommerce refresh, task product page wireframe, billable, 2.5 hours, $95 per hour, note first included revision. The invoice line later becomes "Product page wireframe, 2.5 hours at $95 per hour." Reimbursable expenses belong in separate itemized lines, and freelance contracts often limit them to reasonable, necessary, written-authorized costs.
Revision time needs its own labels because design feedback quickly blurs into new work. Track the included revision number, request date, completion date, affected page or component, and whether the change falls inside the quoted scope. Contract terms can set included revisions, extra-revision rates, and request or completion windows. The time log should make those boundaries visible before an invoice disagreement starts.
Avoid a single bucket named "design" for every change after the first mockup. Separate client feedback calls from production edits, accessibility updates from visual polish, and browser compatibility fixes from new feature requests. That structure supports project plans and budgets because you can compare original estimates with actual work by phase rather than only by final website total.
A one-off record is enough for a small project when you only need a weekly total, a flat-fee progress note, or a simple breakdown of design and testing hours. It also works for a solo designer checking whether a quoted package stayed profitable. The record stops being enough once several people edit the same site, submit time at different times, or share one retainer across multiple projects.
A managed workflow gives the time record a reviewer, a cutoff, and a destination. Everhour Time Tracking lets designers capture task and project hours with timers or manual entries, including inside supported project tools, then feeds timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. That setup matters when approvals, locked periods, reminders, and budget limits need to survive beyond one invoice cycle.

Group entries by client, project, and task type first, then add page, component, or milestone when it clarifies scope. Useful task types include discovery, UI/layout design, prototyping, development coordination, testing, revisions, and maintenance. A separate billable status keeps internal exploration, sales calls, and client-approved production from blending into one number.
Bill them only when the contract, statement of work, or client approval makes that time billable. Track the time either way, with labels for discovery call, feedback review, handoff, or status meeting. The record explains why a project consumed time even when a specific call does not appear as a separate invoice line.
Assign each change to the included revision count or to an extra-revision category before the work starts. The entry should show the request date, page or component, time spent, and short description of the change. Extra-revision rates, limits, and completion windows belong in the contract language that the log references.
Yes. A flat fee controls the client price, while hourly tracking shows internal cost, scope pressure, and profitability. Use tracked hours to compare discovery, design, development support, testing, and maintenance against the original estimate. The invoice can still show a milestone or flat service line instead of every hour.
No. Under the federal baseline, the FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers. The law does not require a specific timekeeping form or system. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek.
Everhour Time Tracking lets designers start a timer or add manual time against project tasks, including entries created inside Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and other supported tools. The same task-level entries feed timesheet review, so a design lead can approve the week before billing or payroll review.
Everhour Project Budgeting tracks hour-based or money-based budgets as designers log time and expenses. A web design lead can set a recurring monthly budget for a retainer, receive threshold alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100%, and stop extra logging after the budget is exceeded when budget protection is enabled.
Use Everhour Time Tracking to capture task and project hours by timer or manual entry, then route approved designer time into billing or payroll review for cleaner design billing.
