For Designers

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

Designers spend more time chasing payments than pushing pixels. Accordio generates contracts, proposals, and invoices that match your standards—from a single 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. Stripe payouts built in.

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

AI generates contracts with revision limits, usage rights, IP ownership, and kill fees baked in. Describe the project, get a contract. Client can’t claim they didn’t know the terms.

Proposals That Win Work

Turn a client brief into a polished proposal with structured scope, timeline, pricing tiers, and terms. Present three options. Client picks one. Converts to a contract automatically.

Scope Creep Protection

Every deliverable, revision round, and timeline is documented in the contract. When the client asks for extras, point to the contract and send a change order—with one message.

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

Scope change detected
This request is outside the original scope. Your contract specifies an 8-page website with no blog or CMS features.
Section 1.2: “Additional pages beyond the 8-page scope require a written change order.”
I've drafted a change order for you:
Blog section6 pages + CMS
Additional cost+$1,800
Timeline+1 week

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.

The math

Without Accordio

2–4 hours writing proposals and contracts per client
Scope creep on 60% of projects (industry average)
45-day average time to get paid
Lost revenue from unclear terms and unpaid invoices

With Accordio

3 minutes to generate a contract with revision limits
Scope locked down with change order workflows
Milestone payments—deposit before work begins
Automatic invoicing and payment tracking via Stripe

At $25/month, Accordio pays for itself after one contract.

Frequently
asked questions

Yes. You set the number of revision rounds per project phase. When the client exceeds them, Accordio can auto-generate a change order with additional costs.

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

You define milestones (e.g., deposit, concept approval, final delivery). When you mark a milestone complete, an invoice is automatically sent to the client through Stripe.

Just message Accordio: “Create change order for [extra work], [amount].” It generates a formal amendment linked to the original contract.

Yes. 20 free AI messages per day. Enough to manage contracts, send proposals, and track invoices without paying anything.
