Have you ever wondered if you’re charging the right price for your work?
Pricing your work is one of the hardest things to do as a motion designer.
Tracking your money can be challenging with the ups and downs of freelancing.
I know you don’t want to bury your head in complicated spreadsheets and inputting data.
I want to help you take control of your finances, raise your rates, and avoid leaving money on the table.
This is why I've created Perfect Your Pricing Toolkit. It's the ultimate pricing guide for motion designers.

Hayley Akins
When I started freelancing in 2015, I was frustrated by the lack of resources for freelance motion designers around the business side.
No one spoke about what they charged.
Motion designers had no specific advice on how to get and retain clients effectively.
With my team at Motion Hatch we create tools I wish I had when I started freelancing.
My mission is to make it easy to run your motion design business so you can create a sustainable business and work on fun and creative projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have Notion. What kind of account do I need to access Perfect Your Pricing toolkit?
You can sign up to a free Notion account here. This will get you access to the toolkit complete with its calculators, databases and spreadsheets, plus all the handy tutorials and further video resources from Motion Hatch.
To have access to chart views you’ll need a paid account. This is a ‘nice to have’ and doesn’t change your experience of using the toolkit if you don’t want to sign up for a paid account.
Check out Notion’s pricing tiers here.
Is the toolkit an alternative to my accountant or a financial advisor?
No. The toolkit and its templates are designed as a guide to help you forecast income, plan for dips and save money, but should not be treated as financial advice. Please always speak to your accountant or financial advisor to discuss your specific circumstances.
I’ve got some specific questions about the toolkit. What’s the best way of me sharing these?
We’re hosting a live Q&A on 9th December for exactly this reason! Keep an eye out for the event and make sure you join so you can be the first to walk-through the toolkit with Hayley, and get your questions answered.
Yes! We want the toolkit to grow and be as useful to as many motion designers as possible. We’ll keep you in the loop on any updates via email, so make sure you stay subscribed to the Motion Hatch mailing list.
I’ve got other questions, where can I find answers?
You can email us at hello@motionhatch.com if you have more questions.
