What exactly is a quotation?
A quote works as an agreement between you and your client. It lists the service you will provide, the price, and a timeline. It ensures both sides understand the work and the conditions. Once both parties accept it, the quote becomes a binding document. Any change must be approved in writing.
A well-written quote is important. It often forms a client’s first impression of your business. Clear details and accurate pricing help you win more projects and build trust.
What’s the difference between a quote and an invoice?
A quote is sent before the work starts. It shows the expected price for the service or product.
An invoice is sent after the work is done or after reaching a specific milestone. It requests payment and lists completed services, delivery dates, and the exact amount the client owes.
Both documents support a smooth and professional workflow on your portfolio website, but they serve different purposes in your client process.
