This client portal changed absolutely everything in my design business. Fewer revisions, fewer emails, fewer questions. It’s all in one spot. Clients don’t ask us to resend the final files, they don’t ask about the timeline, they know exactly when they should pay next, and they are not asking for revisions via email. All the answers for them are in one spot. It’s amazing.

Who pays the processing fees? How about taxes? Designer or Client?

In this episode of The Profitable Graphic Designer Podcast, we are revealing something that many designers don’t handle correctly. It’s definitely something that your clients can choose not to hire you for or hire you for. I’ve been freelancing and running my design agency since 2015, and I've been on both sides. Sometimes I am the client because we hire and outsource to contractors all the time. So, I know what feels right and who should pay the fees. Are fees the cost of doing business, or should your clients pay them? Tune in to learn more.

You will learn:

• What fees you need to pay and what fees your clients should pay.
• If you are a contractor that a project was outsourced to, who needs to pay taxes and processing fees.
• If fees are included in a project price or charged extra.
• How to present the fees to the clients.
• Overall, who pays and what fees.
