Frequently Asked Questions
What is the industry standard for web development deposits?
The standard is a 50% upfront deposit to secure the project on your calendar, with the remaining 50% due upon completion or divided into milestones for larger builds.
How do I prevent clients from adding extra features for free?
List specific inclusions in your estimate; if a client requests something not on that list, refer back to the estimate and issue a 'Change Order' for the additional work.
How can I make my estimate legally binding?
Ensure your estimate includes a signature field and a link to your Terms of Service so that the moment the client signs and pays the deposit, it functions as a contract.
