For Designers

You design for a living.
Your contracts shouldn’t look like garbage.

Stop chasing payments, start designing. Accordio drafts contracts, proposals, and invoices that match your standards, in one message.

Built for creatives

Contracts that speak designer. Revision rounds, usage rights, kill fees—all handled automatically.

Scope that sticks

AI structures your scope so clients can’t sneak in “one more thing.” Deliverables, rounds, and timelines—locked down.

Get paid on time

Milestone invoicing tied to deliverables. Deposit upfront, balance on delivery. Paid directly to you by bank transfer with automatic reconciliation, or card through your own Stripe. 0% commission.

Sound familiar?

Client approved the concept, then asked for 14 more revisions… “just small tweaks”
You delivered the final files and the invoice sat unpaid for 60 days
A brand identity project turned into a full website redesign… at the original price
You spent Sunday night writing a proposal instead of designing
The client used your mockup to hire someone cheaper. No contract. No recourse.

Design more. Chase less.

Contracts that protect your work

Revision limits, usage rights, and kill fees baked into every contract.

Proposals that win work

A brief becomes a proposal with three pricing tiers. Client picks one, it converts to a contract.

Hey, can you also add a blog section to the website? Maybe 6 pages with categories and search. Thanks!

Oh right, that makes sense. Send the change order over, I'll get it approved.

Who it's for

For designers who value their time

Freelance and studio designers who want to spend time designing, not doing admin.

Freelance designers

Solo designers handling everything from pitch to payment without an operations team.

Small studios

2–10 person studios that juggle multiple clients and need consistent contracts across projects.

Brand & identity

Brand designers who need usage rights, licensing terms, and IP protection built into every deal.

UI/UX designers

Product designers working on retainers or sprints who need clear scope and milestone billing.

Not for: Large design agencies with dedicated project managers and existing contract workflows. You probably need a CLM, not us.

You’re paying for 9 tools. None talk to each other.

Absolutely. Accordio contracts include IP ownership, usage rights (exclusive/non-exclusive), licensing terms, and transfer clauses. Customizable per project.
