Work Order or Invoice?

by mwright

When you do a large project for someone, do you write up any kind of formal work order, or do you just make an invoice, send it to the customer, and collect the money?

A client needs a couple dozen sales pages, twitter pages, and related products. I want to keep things simple, but as detailed as possible.

Thanks

    Did you already do a proposal? If you haven't, do this first with a contract outlining how much each thing or the whole project would cost...

    I'd then get them to sign the contract and possibly put down some % of the money up front. Then after the work is done, I usually send an invoice. I suppose a work order isn't all that different from an invoice though.

      Thanks for your feedback.

      Yes, I've already given a proposal with a quote, and the client agreed to pay half up front and half upon completion.

      So, if a work order is just a detailed list of the work to be done, then I could probably do without it.

      I could simply send an invoice with the details of the project, collect the down payment, complete the work, and invoice for the balance.

      But, I was curious if anyone here uses a work order.

        Definitely get half upfront especially if you have never worked with them before. Send them an invoice of the work you did and hopefully collect the rest of the money.
