Good Plan for Web Developers
Web development projects can cost $5,000-$50,000+. When a client's business struggles or priorities shift, invoices go unpaid—leaving you out of pocket for weeks or months of work.
Good Plan helps you recover what you're owed while maintaining professional relationships that lead to future work and referrals.
Common Web Dev Invoice Challenges
Client Cash Flow Issues
Their business is seasonal or facing a slow period. They want to pay but need time.
Scope Creep Disputes
Project grew beyond initial quote. Client balks at final invoice. You did the work.
Startup Clients
They raised funding but it's delayed. They need the site live but can't pay in full yet.
Post-Launch Changes
Client wants changes after launch. Invoice adds up. They weren't expecting additional costs.
How Good Plan Works for Developers
1. Project Completed
You've delivered the work. Site is live or ready to launch. Now you need payment.
2. Create Payment Plan
Invoice: $8,500
Options:
- 3 months × $2,833
- 6 months × $1,417
- 12 months × $708
3. Client Chooses
They pick what fits their budget. No awkward negotiations.
4. Automated Check-Ins
Good Plan sends neutral check-ins on each payment date. Professional, not pushy.
5. Get Paid
Client confirms payments. You verify. Done.
