Template guide

Quote templates

The layout sets the tone before they read the price. Pick a template that matches your client: restrained for corporate, bold for creative pitches.

Clients judge the quote before they judge the number.

Common questions

Same templates as invoices?

Same visual library. Quotes show validity and deposit; invoices show due dates and payment details.

Can I change template after writing the quote?

Template is a skin. Swap it anytime and your line items stay put.
