Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro handle phased branding project billing?

AgencyPro supports project-based billing with phases, so you can create invoices aligned with branding project stages: discovery (research, workshops, stakeholder interviews), strategy (brand positioning, messaging, architecture), design (identity development, logo creation, visual systems), guidelines (documentation, brand standards), and implementation (rollout support, asset creation). Each phase can be billed separately as work is completed, giving clients clear visibility into branding investment while maintaining internal project cost tracking.

Can I separate strategy and consulting time from visual design execution?

Yes, AgencyPro lets you categorize branding work by activity type. Track research, stakeholder interviews, competitive analysis, brand workshops, and strategy development separately from visual design, logo creation, and identity execution. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items, showing clients what they pay for strategic brand thinking versus visual design implementation. This separation helps justify branding pricing and demonstrates the comprehensive thinking behind brand development.

How do I invoice for brand guideline documentation separately from identity design?

AgencyPro supports phase-based billing, so brand guideline creation and documentation can be tracked and invoiced as a separate phase from initial identity design. Track guideline development, brand standard documentation, and usage examples as distinct billable work, then create separate invoices or invoice line items for guideline deliverables. This allows you to bill appropriately for comprehensive brand documentation that often requires significant time investment beyond initial identity creation.

What if branding projects span multiple months and clients want phased payments?

AgencyPro handles long-term project billing with phased invoicing. As you complete each branding phase (discovery, strategy, design, guidelines), create separate invoices for that phase's work. Clients can pay per phase, making large branding investments more manageable. You can also set up milestone-based invoicing that triggers when phases are completed, ensuring you're paid throughout the project rather than waiting until final delivery.
