Why scripts, not just a calculator
Pricing the project is one problem. What you say when a deposit is due, a client is slow to sign off, or final payment stalls after delivery is a different one. The generator above covers the six situations that come up most: no-shows, deposit requests, booking confirmations, quote follow-ups, late payments, and review asks.
Fill in the client’s name, project price, and date, and every template updates live.
Deposit requests
50% at kickoff, with the balance due before final file delivery, is the standard structure for freelance design work. It protects you from unpaid revision cycles if a client goes quiet mid-project.
Late payment reminders
If final files or licenses are being withheld pending payment, say so plainly and politely — it’s a normal industry practice and usually prompts quick action.
Review requests
Ask right after delivering final files, while the client is looking at the finished product and feeling good about it. That’s the moment to convert their enthusiasm into a written review.
Frequently asked questions
How much deposit should a freelance designer ask for?
50% at project kickoff is standard, with the remainder due before final files are delivered. This protects your time investment on revisions before the client has fully committed.
What should I text a client whose final payment is late?
Reference that final source files or high-res exports are withheld until payment clears, which is standard practice and usually resolves the delay quickly.
When should I ask a design client for a review?
Right after final delivery, once the client has seen the finished files and is happy with the result — that's when the praise is freshest and easiest to turn into a written review.
