Industry problems

A rushed spreadsheet doesn't close the deal

Sending a document with no branding or structure undersells your work, even when the offer behind it is excellent.

With no admin team, it all falls on you

Building the quote, sending it, following up, and tracking what's still pending eats hours you should be billing instead.

Clients who vanish right after saying yes

Without a deposit agreed to in writing, you start work with no certainty you'll get paid once the project is done.

How Quotive helps

Build your quote with your own branding

Add your logo, your line items, and your terms in minutes, instead of relying on a generic template everyone else uses too.

Request the deposit inside the same quote

Put the deposit percentage or amount in writing from the start, so it's clear before any work begins.

The client signs and you start with peace of mind

Once the client approves with an e-signature, scope and deposit are documented — no loose messages over chat.

Real example

Quote example

A freelance designer quotes a branding project with a 50% deposit

An independent designer quotes a logo and basic brand guide for $650, with a 50% deposit to lock in the spot on their calendar. The client opens the link, signs on their phone, and pays the deposit before the designer touches the project.

Logo design (3 concepts) — $350
Basic brand guide — $200
50% deposit to start — $100

Benefits

You look professional working solo

A branded quote with your own terms puts you on par with a full studio, even when the team is just you.

You collect the deposit without the awkwardness

Asking for a deposit inside the quote itself feels natural, instead of a separate conversation you dread having.

Less time on admin, more time getting paid

Duplicate past quotes for similar clients instead of building every proposal from a blank page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a registered business to use Quotive?

No. You can quote as an independent freelancer, under your own name or personal brand, with no company entity required.

Can I request a deposit inside the quote?

Yes. Add the deposit percentage or amount as part of the quote itself, so the client sees and accepts it before signing.

How does my brand show up if I don't have a logo yet?

You can upload a logo once you have one, but in the meantime your name and contact details already give the quote a professional look.

Does it work for any kind of freelance work?

Yes. Whether you're a designer, writer, developer, or consultant, you can build line items for your type of project and your own rates.

What if the client doesn't respond after I send the quote?

You can see if and when they opened the link, so you know whether to send a follow-up instead of guessing in the dark.
