What’s inside
How to Use These Templates
Copy the structure into your own document or design tool and fill in each section. Keep proposals concise, ideally two to four pages. Personalise every proposal using the client's own words from your conversations.
Section 1: Project Summary
Summarise the client's situation and what they want to achieve in two or three sentences, using their language.
Section 2: Goals and Success
List the goals you agreed on and how you will both know the project succeeded.
Section 3: Approach
Explain how you will approach the project in a few clear stages. This shows your thinking and builds confidence.
Section 4: Deliverables and Scope
List exactly what will be delivered, in what format and how many revisions are included. State what is not included.
Section 5: Timeline
Give key dates or durations for each stage and note what you need from the client to keep on schedule.
Section 6: Investment and Options
Present your price clearly. If offering options, keep to two or three with clear differences.
Section 7: Terms and Next Steps
Summarise key terms in plain language and explain exactly how to proceed.
