6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

Purpose of a web design invoice

A web design invoice (or web development invoice) is your go-to document for showing a client the services you’re billing them for and how they can go about paying you. That’s the main purpose of all professional invoices, and this is no exception for freelance web designers and web developers. You have many hats to wear in your role and your invoice will need to clearly and accurately outline those services and their cost.

Note: Tired of admin and want to get back to designing beautiful websites? Sign up to Bonsai now for free and have your invoice template ready in minutes.

Eliminates errors

The best invoices are user-friendly and accessible. You want the person reading it to know exactly what’s going on and that means having all the information clear as day. You’re eliminating any errors that they could potentially make, which is super important when it comes to getting paid the right amount and on time. 

Helps you bill correctly

You’re essentially listing out every service you’ve provided to your client over the course of the contract or web design project. As a designer, this could be a lot of different tasks that may vary in cost. In your invoice details, you’ll be able to show everything you’ve done, how many hours you spent doing it, and how much that costs.

Clarifies taxes

And the most exciting part of all–taxes! An invoice is also a useful tool to help you, as a web design business owner or freelancer, charge the right amount of sales tax. Some countries require you to charge additional tax, such as VAT or GST—this can go directly on your invoice for your client to see. You can also provide your tax information, should your client need to know it for their accounts.

Web design invoice template breakdown

At this point, you might be wondering what your invoice will actually look like. Below, we’ve gone ahead and broken down one for you and what it will include. 

Acceptable payment methods

As a freelance web designer, you and your client may be living in different states or even countries. This is an increasing trait in the ever-growing web design industry, where boundaries extend as far as your internet connection does. Your website design invoice will include your payment methods, such as PayPal, Stripe, credit card, or direct bank transfer.

Terms and conditions

It’s a good idea to include an attached document to your web design invoice with all your terms and conditions around the payment. This is something that will help you should anything turn sour with a client—we’ve all been there before.

Suitable pay date

Web designers should always include the date expected to be paid—keep in mind, this is the date your client will pay you, not the due date that it should be in your account. Not only will it help you to get paid faster in the long run, but it will also combat late payments. It’s good to note that larger companies may take several weeks to process your payment, so always align with your client on your expected pay date.

Billing information

This will be a standard section in your web design invoice template that includes the total amount, any added tax, or even discounts. This is necessary information to steamroll your payment process and adds another level of professionalism to your itemized invoice template.

Name and contact details

Every invoice needs to include your name or business name, as well as your contact details. You’ll also need to add your client’s name and contact information parallel to yours. 

Web design invoice template tips

Everybody likes tips, so we’ve included some pretty useful ones below. While these may not be necessary when creating custom invoices, they’ll certainly help towards getting paid faster and building a strong relationship with your client.

Set payment reminders

Sometimes clients just simply forget to process your payment—they are human after all and mistakes can happen. You can set yourself reminders using Google sheets or better yet, use accounting software like Bonsai to do it for you. Either way, sending reminders can help with your timely payments. 

Be transparent

Sounds a little general, right? However, this is an important tip to note down. No one likes to be surprised when seeing something unexpected on an invoice, especially your client. Make sure every cost on your web design invoice is clearly labeled—this can include added sales tax or tracked expenses that will increase the total cost.

Web invoice design

This is an easy one for you. We all know that good design makes a difference. So, make sure your web design invoice template represents your brand and you as a designer. This is especially important when you send a recurring invoice.

Be flexible

It’s good to keep in your mind that every client is different, some will require or prefer you to add specific information to your invoice. Although this may not be part of your beautifully and strategically crafted web design invoice template PDF, to keep your client relationship healthy, you will need to change it to meet their needs. 

Track your time

If you really want to impress your client, add a separate document with your tracked time spent on the project or for that month. This is helpful for your client to see what you were spending most of your time on, and will ultimately build trust between you and them. 

Use simple language

This is especially important for web developers to note. Your client isn’t always going to know what Schema Markup is or what you mean by API—use laymen’s terms where you can and write acronyms out in full. 

Include important documents

As we mentioned earlier, attaching your terms and conditions to your invoice will help guarantee you some legal protection. It’s also a good idea to attach other documents when you think it’s necessary—for example, your web design proposal or freelancer contract.

Web design invoice FAQs

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions by web designers and developers. 

How do I send a web design invoice?

There are a few ways to send an invoice:

  • Email
  • Paper
  • Accounting software

There is some debate on whether it’s better to send paper or digital invoices, however, there are clear benefits when using automation. Automating your recurring invoices builds a habit, meaning that your client will expect your invoice at the same time every month and know they will need to pay it.

What is an invoice template for web design?

Web design invoice templates are essentially barebones invoices without specific information about all the services provided or all the details about a client. It will include your payment details, contact information, terms and conditions, and any other information that’s personal and isn’t likely to change.

The benefit of having a template is that it’s efficient and reliable. Without one, every time you bill a client you’ll need to create the invoice from scratch. Depending on how many clients you have or how busy you are, this could be time crucially needed elsewhere.

Can I use Google Docs to make an invoice?

It is possible to use Google Docs, Google Sheets, and even Microsoft Word to create your invoice—the benefit there is that Google Docs and Google Sheets are free. However, you’ll be spending a lot of time and effort creating these invoice types and run the risk of creating an invoice that isn’t well-designed and is missing crucial information. Using Bonsai is like using an invoice generator, you’ll have all the key information that’s necessary for an invoice, free, and at a click of a button. 

How do I get more clients?

There are plenty of resources you can use to get more clients, including:

  • Using external agencies
  • Networking
  • Focusing on a niche
  • Building a website

Focusing on a niche is an important one to note down. There's a difference between getting more clients and getting better clients—for example, if you're a front-end web developer specializing in Vue.js for aviation companies, you're more likely to stand out to those clients who need your specialization.

Remember not to limit yourself to one channel—combine multiple channels as you search for new or better quality clients.
