Website proposals with the deposit paid on signing.
Quote the build, offer extra pages and a care plan as options, and take the deposit the moment your client signs.
Free to start. No card needed.
Sound familiar?
Long gaps between yes and the deposit
Projects stall while you wait for a signed contract and the first payment to arrive separately.
Care plans are an afterthought
Ongoing maintenance is mentioned at the end, if at all, and rarely taken up.
Arguments about what was included
"A new website" means something different to everyone unless pages and revisions are written down.
How Clutched helps web design agencies
Deposit on signature
Set a deposit percentage. When the client signs, the first invoice is raised and they can pay by card straight away.
Care plans as an easy yes
Offer hosting and maintenance as a monthly line with a minimum term, either optional or included with the choice to remove it, and collect it by Direct Debit.
Scope in writing
Inclusions on each package, such as pages and rounds of revisions, flow into the agreement, so what's signed matches what was sold.
Your brand throughout
Import your logo, colours and fonts from your website. Proposals, contracts and invoices all match.
What a proposal could look like
Example packages. You set your own services, prices and terms.
Questions
Can I charge per extra page?
Yes. Packages can be priced per unit with your own unit label, such as "page". You set the quantity for each client, and extra pages can be an optional line the client switches on.
How do deposits work?
Set a default deposit percentage for one-off work. When the client signs, Clutched raises the first invoice for the deposit and the client can pay it by card immediately.
