Payment Procedure

To avoid any confusion or misunderstandings between both parties, it is important to ensure that all payments are handled in a clear and concise manner. I am more than happy to provide my clients with a detailed invoice that outlines all services rendered, as well as the corresponding costs. This will avoid any issues down the road and ensure both parties know what they are getting into from day one!

How I do it

Firstly, by creating a timeline for payments that is both specific and reasonable, I try to ensure that both parties are on the same page about when and how much money is owed.

Secondly, I prefer to receive a deposit of 50% before starting work on a project. This helps ensure that both parties are fully committed to the project and that you're not out of pocket if your client decides to pull out.

Thirdly, it's important to have a clear understanding of what services are included in the quoted price. I usually provide a documented list of services that my client will get, so there are no surprises down the road.

If any additional work is required during or after the project, an additional charge will be included with the rest of the payment. An hourly rate will be applicable for the additional work.

Finally, I also provide a discount for long-term clients, or for those who refer me to new potential clients. This creates trust and stability for both parties involved in the project.

With a detailed breakdown of what my clients are paying for, and when payments are due, I found this the best way to build trust with my clients and ensure a smooth working relationship.
