Installment & milestone payments

Last updated: March 2026

This page explains how WDA can structure project fees over time—tied to delivery phases instead of a single upfront payment. It is for transparency only; binding terms are always set in your individual proposal or contract.

1. Payment models

Milestone-based payments. You pay as agreed deliverables are reached—so spend tracks progress instead of one large upfront invoice.

Phased delivery. Large projects are split into clear phases. Each phase has a scope checkpoint and a matching payment step.

Retainer + build mix. Combine a steady monthly slice for strategy or content with fixed build phases when you ship larger pieces.

Enterprise-style terms. For larger organisations we can align with procurement, approvals and internal governance—documented in the contract.

2. Example milestone split

Many projects use a three-step split similar to the one below. Your quote may use different percentages or more steps—only the signed agreement counts.

  • 30% — project start. Kickoff: scope locked, access and plan in place. Percentages are examples only.
  • 40% — build phase. Core work in agreed slices; invoices follow the milestones you sign off.
  • 30% — launch & handover. Final checks, go-live support and handover.

3. Eligibility

We offer phased payments when the work can be broken into clear outcomes and a minimum budget makes the administration sensible for both sides. We need a written scope and timeline so payments can map to real deliverables. Installment-style terms apply from a certain project value—your proposal states the threshold.

4. Questions & answers

Is every project eligible?
No. We offer structured payments when scope, budget and risk fit. Your proposal will say if it applies.
Is this a loan or financing?
No. It is a payment schedule in your project agreement with WDA—not third-party financing.
What if the scope changes?
We update milestones, delivery dates and payment steps in writing so everything stays aligned.
Are there hidden fees?
Fees and schedules are stated in the quote or contract before you commit—no surprise line items.
Can larger clients use custom terms?
Yes. Enterprise and procurement-heavy setups can use tailored schedules and approval-friendly wording.
