Who it suits
- Freelancers
- Dev studios
- Consultants
Real billing scenario
A consultant invoices phase 2 of a process-improvement engagement. Side rail holds phase codes; descriptions stay readable.
Example line items
- Phase 2: process mapping
- Stakeholder interviews × 6
- Recommendations workshop
Fields worth including
- Phase / SOW reference
- On-site vs remote days
- Expenses policy
Common mistakes with this layout
- Billing outside the SOW without a change note
- Lumping travel into professional fees
Sidebar clarity for multi-phase work
Ocean keeps metadata in a teal side rail so freelancers, dev studios and consultants can write long phase descriptions without crowding dates and numbers. It is the consulting cousin of Agency, tuned for project narratives rather than campaign jargon.
Layout details
- Teal sidebar for number, dates and references.
- Wide column for multi-phase descriptions.
- Clean totals after long scopes.
- Professional colour that still feels modern.
Typical billing scenarios
Discovery, build and handover phases; advisory days; hybrid fixed-plus-time invoices. Number phases to match your proposal so clients can compare quote versus invoice line by line.
Filling tips
Put the project codename in the sidebar-friendly fields and expand deliverables in lines. If change requests altered scope, add them as new lines with “CR-03” style labels rather than silently increasing an old line.
When to pick something else
Choose Agency for marketing retainers. Choose Modern for simpler freelance bills. Choose Slate for formal advisory firms.
