Stop Losing Money on Scope Creep

Track time without breaking creative flow.

The problems you know too well

Lost Billable Time

10-20% of revenue lost from forgotten timers and manual tracking errors. Creative flow makes it easy to forget to start tracking.

Scope Creep

The #1 threat to creative projects. "Just one more tweak" requests compound into 15-30% of project time going unpaid.

Time-Consuming Admin

20+ days per year spent on invoicing and chasing payments instead of doing the creative work you love.

Pricing Confusion

Hourly vs project-based dilemma. The faster you work, the less you earn. But fixed pricing has scope creep risk.

Awkward Client Conversations

Justifying hours and proving value to clients who don't understand design. "It's just a logo" mentality.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge hourly or per-project?

It depends on project clarity. For well-defined projects with clear deliverables, project-based pricing works well. For exploratory or ongoing work, hourly is safer. Many designers use a hybrid: hourly for discovery and fixed for execution. Chronobill tracks your time either way, so you can see which model is more profitable for your business.

How do I handle scope creep?

Chronobill helps you document scope changes objectively. Track revisions explicitly, see when you're exceeding budgeted hours, and communicate with data instead of emotions. When a client requests "just one more tweak," you can show them exactly how much time the project has taken versus the original estimate.

How do I track time on different project phases?

Create separate time entries with descriptive notes for each phase of work. Add context like "Initial concepts" or "Client feedback round" to your entries. The notes are included in your invoices, making it easy to show clients exactly what you worked on.

How do I prove my hours to clients?

Chronobill generates detailed time reports you can share with clients. Show them exactly what you worked on, when, and for how long. Professional documentation builds trust and makes defending your invoice straightforward.
