Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Web designers need time records that follow the actual shape of the work: discovery, UI layout, prototyping, development support, browser and device testing, revisions, maintenance, and client meetings. A usable record connects each entry to a client, project, task type, date, and billing status, so a week of scattered work turns into a clear project history.
That structure matters for both freelancers and agencies. A freelancer can support an invoice line such as "Homepage layout revisions, 3.5 hours at $85 per hour." An agency can review whether a landing page redesign used its planned design budget, which team member handled testing, and whether extra revision work should be billed separately.
Web design time becomes easier to price when the categories match the agreement. Common billing units include flat fee, per hour, per day, and per item. A contract or statement of work usually defines services, rate, quantity, total amount, deposit choice, payment timing, payment method, and any milestone amounts or due dates.
Revision tracking deserves its own label. Many web design agreements include a fixed number of revisions, then charge extra for additional rounds or late requests. Time entries should show whether a change belongs to the included scope, a paid extra revision, or maintenance after launch. Expenses also need clean labels, especially when reimbursement is limited to reasonable, necessary, written-authorized, itemized costs.
A professional design time record has enough detail for a client, manager, or bookkeeper to understand the work without reading every task comment. Strong entries name the project, client, work type, date, duration, billable status, and short description. Vague labels such as "design work" create disputes because they do not show whether the time covered layout, testing, content coordination, or revisions.
Employee records need a different level of care. For employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate.
A one-off weekly total is enough when you need a quick summary for one small client, a simple flat-fee check, or a personal estimate review. It works poorly once several designers, retainers, milestones, revisions, and invoice approvals enter the same workflow. Manual totals also make it easy to miss unbilled support or mix included revisions with paid changes.
A managed workflow fits ongoing client work. Designers track time by client, project, and task; managers review submitted timesheets; billing teams use approved time for invoices; and project leads compare actual hours with budgets. Everhour Timesheets add that approval layer by collecting weekly project and working hours, then letting admins approve, reject, partially approve, and lock submitted entries.

Rated in the top time trackers across G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius — with consistent praise for ease of use, integrations, and support.
Track discovery, client meetings, wireframes, UI layout, prototyping, development support, testing, revisions, and maintenance as separate task types. Those categories match how web design work is planned and billed. They also show whether time went into new design, quality control, client-requested changes, or ongoing updates after launch.
Use both when you handle more than one client or more than one active website. The client label keeps billing and reporting organized across accounts. The project label separates a redesign, landing page, maintenance retainer, or accessibility update under the same client, which prevents invoice lines and budget reviews from blending unrelated work.
Revision entries should identify the design area, request source, date, duration, and whether the revision is included or extra. Contracts often set a number of included revisions and a charge for additional revisions, so a separate revision category protects both the designer and the client when scope changes after review.
Weekend work alone does not require federal overtime premium pay under the FLSA. Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay only for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, unless another law, contract, or policy creates a separate weekend or holiday premium. Freelance billing follows the contract terms instead.
Broad, unlabeled entries cause the most friction. A line that says "website work, 10 hours" does not show whether the time covered layout, testing, development support, revisions, or maintenance. Clear task labels, short notes, and billable status help clients connect the invoice to the work they approved.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, so managers can review design time before billing or payroll. Submitted entries can be approved, rejected, partially approved, and locked, which gives agencies a cleaner approval trail before client invoices use the tracked time.
Everhour can track time inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Designers can start timers or add manual time against project tasks, then use those entries for reports, budgets, and billing review.
Track client, project, and revision time in Everhour, then submit weekly timesheets for review so approved design hours feed cleaner billing and payroll decisions.
