Design services rate sheet

A student approached me, curious about how to work with clients and price their projects. One tool I suggested was a simple rate sheet, much like a menu of services. It helps make those initial conversations about money less awkward while giving clients a clear idea of what to expect. This sheet is designed to provide a straightforward starting point for graphic designers, outlining common services—like branding, collateral design, and web design—and their associated rates. While it’s not an exhaustive list, it’s a great foundation for building a professional approach to pricing.
