Billing & Invoices

Understanding Your Invoice

A simple breakdown of what you’re being charged for and why.

All Linford invoices are designed to be clear and easy to read. Whether you’re on a one-off project, monthly retainer, or custom billing plan, each invoice shows exactly what’s included.

Here’s how to read it.

Key sections on every invoice

  • Invoice number - useful for reference or finance teams
  • Issue date and due date - shows when it was sent and when payment is expected
  • Description - a short explanation of what the invoice covers
  • Line items - specific charges like design work, hosting, or monthly support
  • Subtotal, tax, and total - the final amount, including VAT if applicable

All amounts are listed in GBP unless we’ve agreed otherwise.

Common line items you might see

  • Website Design and Build - full project charge for design and development
  • Monthly Retainer - ongoing support, content, or management services
  • Ad Campaign Management - setup, optimisation, and reporting
  • Content Creation - photography, video, or written assets
  • Hosting - if you’re using Linford-managed hosting
  • Training or Handover - additional sessions outside the main scope

We keep descriptions brief to keep things readable. If you want a detailed explanation, just ask.

Notes and terms

Some invoices include a short note about the work stage or reminder of payment terms. These are usually 7 or 14 days unless we’ve agreed differently. For staged projects, you’ll see milestone details listed clearly.

Need a custom breakdown?

If your finance team needs more detail or prefers invoices split into separate sections, let us know. We can adjust the format before or after sending.
