How to quote a design project without underpricing it
Design quotes go wrong in two predictable ways: the scope is vague, so "a logo" turns into a brand identity, or revisions are unlimited, so the project never ends. This quotation template for designers starts from a scoped design quote - deliverables listed one by one, a set number of revision rounds, and the usage the client is paying for - so the price you send is the price of a defined piece of work. The sample prices a brand identity and a style guide as separate deliverables, which is the format clients find easiest to approve.
How to use this tool
- Start from the design quote sampleThe Creative & Design pack opens with a logo suite and style guide priced as separate deliverables.
- Define the scopeList each deliverable, the number of revision rounds included, the usage the client is buying and any kill fee.
- Send it for sign-offAdd your logo, download the PDF or share a link the client can accept before you start any concepts.
List deliverables, not hours
Clients buy outcomes, so quote them that way: "Primary logo, secondary mark, colour palette, 2-page brand guide" reads as value; "20 hours of design" invites a debate about your speed. If you price by the hour internally, convert it to a fixed project fee and keep the hours to yourself.
- Each deliverable with its format - vector files, social sizes, print-ready PDF.
- The number of initial concepts and revision rounds included.
- A price for extra rounds, so the client knows the cost before asking.
- Timeline with dates for concepts, revisions and final files.
Usage, licensing and the kill fee
The same illustration is worth more on a national campaign than on a local flyer. State the usage the price covers - channels, territory, duration - and price wider usage as an upgrade. Add a kill fee (often a percentage of the total) for projects cancelled after work starts, and a deposit before you begin. These lines protect you more than any clever pricing.
Key features

Tips for better results
- Offer two or three packages so the client chooses a scope rather than haggles a price.
- Put the revision limit in the deliverables list, not buried in the terms.
- Ask for a deposit before concepts begin.
Mistakes to avoid
- Quoting "design work" with no deliverables, which invites endless scope creep.
- Unlimited revisions on a fixed price.
- Leaving usage rights out, then arguing about a billboard later.
Frequently asked questions
Estimate the hours for each deliverable, multiply by your rate, then present it as a fixed project fee with a defined number of revisions and the usage included.
Yes - state how many rounds are included and the price of each extra round.
A fee the client pays if they cancel after work has started, usually a percentage of the project total, to cover work already done.
Commonly 14 to 30 days. Put the expiry date on the quote so your calendar is not held open indefinitely.
