What a fixed price changed
I stopped billing by the hour last year. Clients decide faster, and I spend the saved time on the work.

Short notes on design, pricing and working with small brands.
Hourly billing made every extra round feel like a meter running, for both of us. A fixed price per project, agreed after the first call, removed that.
What is in the price
Two or three directions, two rounds of changes on the chosen one, all final files and a short guide. If the brief changes, we agree a new price before I start, never after.
The result is calmer weeks and, oddly, more ambitious work, because nobody is counting minutes.
