Sending a quote is one of the key steps in the Designer workflow. A quote tells the customer how much you will charge for the requested design work and helps move the project toward active production.
What a quote does
A quote gives the customer a proposed price for completing the design request. Once the quote is sent, the customer can review it and decide whether to proceed.
In most cases, quoting is the step that moves the request from early review into a more active decision stage.
When to send a quote
You should send a quote when:
-
You have reviewed the request carefully
-
The project fits your skills and style
-
The request includes enough detail to price confidently
-
You are willing and able to take on the work
Before you quote
Before sending a quote, confirm that you understand:
-
The request description
-
The customer’s reference images or sample files
-
The likely scope of the work
-
Any special expectations or notes
-
Whether the project fits your current schedule
How to send a quote
1. Open the design request
Go to the request from your Designer workspace.
2. Review the request details
Double-check the project before entering a price.
3. Enter the quote amount
Provide the amount you want to charge for the requested design work.
4. Confirm and send the quote
Once submitted, the request should move into a quoted state so the customer can review it.
What happens after you send a quote
After a quote is sent:
-
The request status may update to show that it has been quoted
-
The customer can review the amount
-
The customer may accept the quote and proceed with payment
-
The request may later move into an accepted or active stage
Tips for quoting well
-
Quote only after reviewing the full request
-
Make sure the price reflects the actual scope of work
-
Avoid quoting if the request is still unclear
-
Keep your current workload in mind before committing
Why good quoting matters
A good quote helps:
-
Set clear expectations
-
Reduce misunderstandings later
-
Support smoother payment and delivery
-
Improve your reliability as a Designer
If you cannot quote the request confidently
If the request is unclear or does not feel like a good fit, it is better to review carefully than to commit too quickly.
