BILLING FOR DESIGN AGENCIES

Design. Deliver.
Get paid on time.

Get paid right after completing design assets. HandL automates your invoices and smooths out client approvals without the tiring back-and-forth.

Invoicing shouldn’t kill your flow

Creative work takes focus. But when you’re stuck waiting weeks for payment, it eats into your flow—and your revenue. That’s why design agencies are switching to smarter milestone billing.

Most billing tools aren’t built for creatives

Many invoicing platforms treat design projects like a spreadsheet—ignoring how messy creative revisions, approvals, and scope changes actually get. The result?

  • Hours lost tracking client approvals

  • Delayed invoices due to vaguely defined milestones

  • Tense conversations about payments mid-project

  • Disrupted cash flow, even when projects are on track

  • Mismanaged client relationships (and revenue)
