Why web designers struggle with time tracking

  • 1Clients see a 'simple website' as a small job, but responsive design across devices multiplies the work significantly
  • 2Design-in-browser workflows blur the line between design and development, making time allocation confusing
  • 3Homepage designs get nitpicked through dozens of micro-revisions that individually seem small but collectively take hours
  • 4Template customization projects start small but always expand into 'while you're at it' requests

How TimeTrack Pro helps web designers

Page-level time tracking shows the real cost of each page type (homepage vs. interior vs. landing page)

Design vs. implementation tags help you separate creative work from technical execution if you bill differently

Revision logging captures the cumulative time of micro-changes so you have data for scope conversations

Client-specific project templates speed up time entry for repeatable web design workflows

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to design a website?
A custom 5–10 page website typically takes 40–80 hours of design time (excluding development). TimeTrack Pro helps you build accurate benchmarks from past projects. Template-based designs take less time, but customization often exceeds initial estimates.
Should web designers charge per page or per project?
Per-project pricing is most common, but you need to know your per-page time cost to quote accurately. Track time at the page level in TimeTrack Pro to build an internal rate card (e.g., homepages average 10 hours, contact pages average 3 hours).
How do I handle web design revision creep?
Define revision rounds in your contract (typically 2 major rounds, with minor tweaks included in each). Track all revision time in TimeTrack Pro. When hours exceed the estimate, share the data with the client and propose a change order for additional rounds.
Should I include development time on a web design invoice?
If you handle both design and development, separate them on the invoice — it educates clients about the dual skill set and may justify different rates for each. TimeTrack Pro's project tags make this separation automatic.
