The full range

Every project, sorted.

From a single logo to an ongoing retainer, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of work NZ freelance designers actually take on.

©️Copyright & licensing

Copyright in a design generally stays with you as the creator unless a written contract transfers it. Many designers charge separately for full copyright transfer or handing over source files — note this and it's captured as its own line.

💰Deposits & balances

Larger projects are often split into a deposit and a final balance. Note each stage as it happens and your records match exactly what the client paid, when.

🔁Retainers & revisions

Ongoing monthly retainers and extra revision rounds beyond the original scope are both common. Note them as their own line and they're itemised separately from the base project fee.

Graphic Designer FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can it handle project-based fees instead of hourly billing?+
Yes. Note the project fee and deliverables and it's itemised as a fixed-price line, exactly as you quoted it — no need to break everything into hours.
Does it separate a deposit from the final balance?+
Yes. Note the deposit amount taken upfront and it's captured separately from the final balance invoice, so your records match what the client actually paid at each stage.
Can it invoice for extra revision rounds?+
Yes. Note any revisions beyond what was originally scoped and they're itemised as their own line, separate from the base project fee.
Does it know about copyright and licensing terms?+
TradieNotes doesn't draft licensing agreements, but it's worth noting: copyright in a design stays with you as creator unless a written contract transfers it, so many designers charge separately for full copyright transfer or source files.
Can it handle ongoing retainer clients?+
Yes. Note it as a monthly retainer and it's captured the same way each billing cycle, so recurring clients get consistent invoices.
What do NZ freelance graphic designers typically charge?+
Rates vary widely by experience and project type, from smaller jobs to full brand packages — your invoice reflects whatever you actually quoted for that project.
Can I invoice international clients?+
Yes. Note the client and currency details and your invoice is itemised the same way — just confirm your own GST obligations for exported services.
Are the invoices GST and IRD compliant?+
Yes — every invoice includes your GST number, business name, itemised fees, and meets NZ IRD requirements.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $1.
