For designers, developers, and consultants on fixed-price work
Draw the wall before they lean on it.
A one-page card that rides with the proposal. What's included. What's not. How extras get billed. Send it before the extra ask.
The card
Name what's in. Name what's out.
The moment
The extra was never named.
-
“I thought that was included”
The quote listed deliverables. It did not list the edges. So the client fills them in.
-
You priced the job, not the wall
Fixed-price work dies at the boundary. A one-pager that says what's out is cheaper than a fight in week four.
-
Looking fussy
A long contract feels like distrust. A card feels like a shop that already knows its edges.
How it works
Three lists. Then attach.
-
1
Write in and out
One item per line. What the fee covers. What it does not. Be boring and specific.
-
2
Set rounds and the extra rate
Default is two revision rounds. Extra rounds and new work get an hourly number.
-
3
Paste it under the quote
Copy the addendum. Attach the one-page PDF. Work on extras starts after written approval.
Steal these first
Free language, then the priced PDF.
What's not included
An out-of-scope clause for freelance proposals. Copy it. Put it under the quote.
Statement of work one-pager
A short freelance SOW you can send with a fixed-price proposal.
Out of scope clause
A paragraph you paste under the proposal fee. Extras need a written yes.
Not included in the proposal
A pasteable outs list under the fee. Name the extras before they sign.
Revision rounds in the proposal
Name the round cap under the fee. Extra rounds are extra work.
Extra-work rate in the proposal
Name the extra-work rate under the fee. Later extras have a number.
