Freelancing in South Africa: Pricing Your Design Work
A clean file is half the job. Before you send anything to a client, check your layers, name your artboards and export a small preview. Clients in Stellenbosch and beyond notice tidy work straight away. Keep fonts and licences in one folder so nothing gets lost between projects, and save each version with a date. It saves time when a client asks for changes weeks later.
Small habits add up. A simple checklist before every delivery keeps your work consistent and your clients happy.
Fresh design ideas
Browse our fonts and mockups for ideas that suit a small studio or personal brand.
Bring your laptop and a project in progress, and we will help you finish it properly.
Presentation matters as much as the design itself. A simple mockup shows a client how a logo looks on a box, a shopfront or a phone screen. It turns a flat file into something they can picture. Keep the setting plain so your work stays the hero.
Keep the setting simple
Fonts do a lot of quiet work. Pair one strong display face with one calm sans for body text and you rarely go wrong. Test your choice at small sizes, on a phone and in print, before you commit. Local foundries often release fonts with clear licences for small business use.
Good type should be easy to read first and clever second. If a customer has to work to read your name, the font is not doing its job. Choose clarity, then add personality with colour and spacing.
