About the Invoice Description Generator
The line that says "Design work — £3,200" gets queried. The line that says "Brand identity: logo, type scale and colour system, including two rounds of revisions (3 Feb – 14 Mar)" gets paid. The difference costs ten seconds to write and routinely saves three weeks of payment delay.
The pattern is always the same: what it is, what it included, and when it happened. This builds descriptions in that shape, with a catalogue of real line items across thirteen trades — design, web, development, marketing, SEO, photography, consulting, legal, medical, building trades, cleaning, tuition and goods — so you are picking rather than inventing.
It also flags the things that make a description weak: a bare noun with no scope, a date range missing on time-based work, a quantity without a unit, and internal jargon or project code names that mean nothing to the person approving the payment.

Frequently asked questions
Detailed enough that the person approving it can recognise the work without asking you. That is usually one line: what it is, what it included, and when.
Only alongside a plain description. The person who approves the payment is rarely the person who named the project, and an invoice full of internal codes goes into an exceptions queue.
On anything charged by time, yes. It answers the first question anyone asks about a time-based line and it makes the invoice checkable against their own records.
It can be too long. A description running to four lines is harder to approve than one running to one. Put the detail in a sub-line under the item rather than in the item itself.
