FAQ

If revisions are included, mention the number included in notes. Bill extra rounds as separate hourly line items.

It helps. Listing deliverable formats reduces misunderstandings and scope creep.

Charge licensing when usage rights have material value or vary by channel (web vs print vs paid campaigns).

Use one line item for retainer coverage and separate project extras as standalone scoped items.

Yes. Mention included revision rounds and the hourly rate for additional rounds to protect margins.
