Quote calculator for designers

Store your design prices and send quotes to clients

Your own catalogue of design services behind a fast builder: go from a client's first enquiry to a polished, sent quote in minutes. No more spreadsheets, and no generic proposal software you have to bend to fit design work.

How it works

  1. Build your design price catalogue

    Set your design prices once: branding, print, UX/UI and development, each with a unit price and minimums where you need them. Every quote after that starts from numbers you have already agreed with yourself.

  2. Run the quote wizard

    Pick the design services, set quantities, and watch the estimate update as you go. VAT, deposit, discounts and currency are handled for you, with your internal margin shown beside the client price.

  3. Send it with your proposal

    Each quote gets a sequential reference unique to your studio. Attach your design proposal so the pitch and the price arrive together, and send the client a link to view it.

  4. Let prospective clients self-serve

    A public quote link lets new design enquiries build their own estimate from your catalogue before they ever speak to you, so the first call starts with a budget on the table.

Why designers need a calculator, not a spreadsheet

Every design studio has the spreadsheet: the one with the formulas nobody dares touch, rebuilt for every enquiry, sent as a PDF that looks like a spreadsheet. Generic proposal software is not much better, because it was built for sales teams, not design work.

The Drool Client Management quote calculator keeps your design prices in one catalogue and does the arithmetic every time, so quoting a design job takes minutes, looks like your studio, and always adds up.

Questions

Can I use my own design prices and services?

Yes. The catalogue is yours: add, rename and reprice services across branding, print, UX/UI and development, and set minimums where a design job never goes below a certain fee.

Does it handle VAT, deposits and discounts?

Yes. Set VAT, a deposit percentage and a percentage or fixed discount on the quote, and the totals update as you build it. Your internal margin shows alongside the client price.

Can prospective clients get a design quote without talking to me?

Yes. Share your public quote link and new enquiries can build an estimate from your catalogue themselves. You see the result and follow up with a budget already on the table.

What happens when a client accepts a quote?

It stays on the client's record and rolls into the design project: the contract, the client feedback rounds and the finance tracking all sit beside it.
