An extra request you have not assessed
The client adds a page, format or asset that clearly falls outside the agreed deliverables. You have not decided a fee or date.
Subject: [Project] additional request
Hi [contact], [New request] adds work beyond the agreed [deliverable]. Please send [requirements needed] so I can assess the work and offer a fee and schedule. I have not added it to the current scope. [Your name]
Before you send: Confirm that it is genuinely additional work. Ask only for missing requirements. Do not invent a price or imply that work has started.
Make it pop is not an instruction
The feedback expresses a feeling but does not identify a usable change.
Subject: [Project] clarification on feedback
Hi [contact], Could you point to the [section or asset] you want changed and describe what is not working for [audience or purpose]? An example of the direction you mean would help. For [specific question], are you asking to change [relevant alternatives you have identified]? I can revise that part once the intended result is clear. [Your name]
Before you send: Offer alternatives only when they clarify this design. Do not assume the client wants brighter color or a larger logo.
Follow up on an overdue invoice
The due date has passed and your current payment record confirms that this invoice remains unpaid.
Subject: Follow up on invoice [number]
Hi [contact], I am following up on invoice [number] for [amount and currency], which was due on [date]. My payment record shows it is unpaid as of [reporting date]. Could you confirm when payment is expected? If there is a question about the invoice, please let me know so I can address it. [Your name]
Before you send: Check status immediately before sending. Do not add a late fee, threat, extension or work suspension unless it reflects your actual decision and terms.
A guide you can work from
The situation.
The suggested email.
Your own version.
The guide separates what happened, what the designer could send and which details you should change. Maya is the fictional freelancer; Alex is her client.

Before you choose the kit
A few useful answers.
What is The Client Reply Kit?
It is an ebook and working reply library for freelance web and brand designers. The complete website kit includes a 51-page PDF, 22 editable email templates, 12 optional AI instructions, four worksheets and a searchable offline HTML library.
Who is this kit for?
US freelance web and brand designers who already work with clients and need clearer replies to extra work requests, feedback, deadlines, invoices and handoffs. The writing uses American English, USD examples and month-first dates.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. You can adapt all 22 templates yourself. The AI instructions are optional and can be used with an assistant you already have access to.
Will it work with Gmail or Outlook?
Yes. These are plain-text messages you copy into your usual email or messaging app. The kit does not connect to your inbox or send messages for you.
Are the scenarios real client emails?
The worked examples use a fictional designer, Maya, and a fictional client contact, Alex. Each example email shows what the designer could send. The kit labels the situation, the suggested email and what to customize.
Can I use the templates in messages to my own clients?
Yes. Adapt them for your own business and client messages. Replace the bracketed fields and verify the facts before sending. The underlying kit is not licensed for resale or redistribution as a template collection.
Is it a subscription?
No. The complete website kit has a one-time launch price of $14.99 USD. The purchase section shows current checkout availability.
Is the ebook available on Amazon?
The Kindle reading edition, Client Email Templates for Freelance Designers, has been submitted to Amazon and is under review. Its US launch price is $4.99. The $14.99 website bundle adds the designed PDF, separate editable files and offline reply library.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email hello@dkstudio.ai within 14 days of buying and we refund the full price. You do not need to give a reason.
Was AI used to create the kit?
Yes. Draft text and cover artwork were generated with AI and developed through editorial review. The examples are fictional, and the kit does not claim measured time savings or payment outcomes.
