KADEPAY FOR WEB DESIGNERS & DEVELOPERS
You can push a site live in seconds, but getting the last invoice paid can take months. KadePay takes the web design deposit before the first mockup, bills each milestone with screenshots attached, collects the final payment before launch and keeps care plans billing every month.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Freelance web designers and small studios trade the same stories: content that never arrives, launches stuck waiting on approval and final invoices that go quiet. These are the payment moments KadePay is built to handle.
You launched on trust, handed over the admin access, and the final 50% invoice has gone unread for six weeks.
With KadePay
Make final payment before launch part of the plan. Send the last bill with screenshots of the finished site attached, and go live or transfer the domain once it shows as paid.
Ways to get paidThe client is excited, you sketch wireframes over the weekend, and the deposit invoice is still sitting unopened in their inbox.
With KadePay
Send a fixed-amount web design deposit link together with your web design contract, and put the project on your calendar only when the deposit is paid.
Payment links and QR codesThe contract said 30% at design approval, but approval happened in a comment thread and nobody sent the invoice.
With KadePay
Send milestone invoices the day each stage is approved, with the mockup or staging screenshots attached, and turn on reminders so the bill follows up while you keep building.
Ways to get paidForty small sites on a $75 care plan means forty invoices every month, and one or two always slip through until a plugin breaks.
With KadePay
Put each care plan on a recurring bill on Team or Pro, charged to the card or bank account the client authorized. Website maintenance plan billing then runs monthly without a spreadsheet.
Recurring billingA local shop wants a proper site but cannot cover a four-figure project in a single payment.
With KadePay
Agree a payment plan with a set number of installments collected from the client's saved card or bank account, so the build is affordable and you are not floating the cost.
Payment plansHow it fits your week
A prospect taps the link on your portfolio and requests a 30-minute call. You confirm it, and automatic reminders help them show up on time.
Your project questionnaire covers pages, features and brand colors, and the client signs your web design contract on their phone. Both stay on their profile.
The client pays the deposit from a link by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH. Wireframes start once it shows as paid.
At design approval and staging, send milestone invoices with screenshots attached. Reminders go out by text and email until each one is settled.
Collect the last payment before going live, then move the client to a monthly hosting and care plan on Team or Pro, charged to their authorized card.
Every way your clients pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same client record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for web designers
Freelance web designer payments arrive in three shapes: a deposit to start, milestone invoices along the way, and recurring fees for hosting and care once the site is live. Software that handles all three on one client profile saves you from stitching together invoices, payment links and a spreadsheet.
Web developer payment terms matter more than the tool. Write the deposit, milestones and final payment before launch into your web design contract, have the client sign it before you start, and send each bill the day a stage is approved. A signed agreement and a bill with the scope summary attached keep most disputes short, even when a client asks for one more round of revisions after approval.
Website maintenance plan billing is where small studios build steady income. Put each care plan on a recurring bill, ask the client to authorize a card or bank account, and the work of chasing $95 a month mostly goes away. Annual hosting renewals can run the same way, so a client's domain and server costs never land on your personal card.
KadePay does not host sites, log hours or manage tasks. It covers the money and paperwork side: intro call requests, signed questionnaires, deposits, milestone bills, payment plans and transaction downloads for your accountant.
CLEAR ANSWERS
One that handles deposits, milestone bills and monthly care plans without extra tools. KadePay does all three, accepts cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH, and keeps signed questionnaires and contracts on each client profile.
Many designers ask for 30 to 50 percent before starting, with the rest split across design approval and launch. Whatever you choose, put it in your contract and send the deposit as a fixed-amount link so the project starts on a paid footing.
Tie launch, domain transfer or file handover to the last payment in your contract. Send the final bill with screenshots of the finished site, keep reminders on, and go live once it shows as paid.
Yes, on Team or Pro. Create a recurring bill for each care plan and ask the client to authorize a card or bank account, which they can revoke later. Each month's bill also appears on your branded business page for the client.
No. KadePay has no task boards, proposals or hour logs. Web designers use it for the business around the build: intro call requests, project questionnaires, deposits, milestone bills, payment plans and care plan billing.
You can start on Pay-As-You-Go at $0 per month for deposits and project bills, and payment and usage fees apply. Monthly care plans and vanishing bills need Team at $10 per month or Pro at $35 per month. The pricing page compares them.
