Here’s how to use Indy’s Proposal Template to get started:
A proposal template can help you write your document in less time and with more ease. Simply fill out the old one by customizing it for each individual client, adding relevant information that will be valuable to them.
Sending your client a professional, well-written proposal will make you stand out from the competition and be miles ahead of any other candidates when it comes time for them to choose who'll work on their project.
Using a professional proposal template will help you create an attractive and well-organized document that includes all the necessary information. This includes examples from previous clients, as well as their positive feedback on other projects to give your client an idea about what they can expect working with you.
By using a template that is identical in design quality across all proposals, you can establish yourself as an expert brand while making a winning impression on clients.
In just a few easy steps, we will show you how to create your own Freelance Design proposal template.
First, you need a few things:
Now that you have those things, you can begin writing your Freelance Design proposal template.
One of the best ways to make a strong proposal template is by looking at an example that's already done well. If you have examples from previous proposals on hand, note what information can be reused and then use those as your guide for copying or rewriting it in the new document. For instance, if there are customer success stories included with the first one: include them when making your new template.
If you don’t have a completed template, then Indy's proposal can automatically create one for you so that all the content is ready to edit.
Here are the basic steps:
That’s it! Your new proposal template is finished.
When you use your template to create a full proposal, make a note of anything that is missing. Once you’re finished, go back and add this to your template so it will be ready for the next time.
Your proposal template shows potential clients your skills and attention to detail. Most proposal templates include a cover page, description of the work, timeline, portfolio, and a pricing page. You could add extra sections that suit your way of working.
Here are the elements we think you should include in every Freelance Design proposal:
From here, you can wrap up the proposal template with next steps the customer can take. These can include:
Your proposal should make your client feel like you are the perfect person to hire. Once they reach this conclusion, it's time for one last push by contacting them with a phone call or email in order ask if there's anything else that needs clarification before signing on any dotted lines!
The secret to winning more clients as a freelancer is to build your client’s confidence in your abilities. Proposal templates helps you do this in a few ways:
Those are three ways your proposal template can help you land more jobs. Get started with one as soon as possible to begin reaping the benefits.

I specialize in cross-channel and multi-location design services. For over twelve years, I have helped businesses redesign their branding to sync their image across physical and digital properties.
My services include:
Here are some testimonials from previous clients:
My clients value my professionalism, commitment to deadlines, and the results I give them.
Based on your information, Thomas Coto wants to launch a new image for their seven restaurant locations, main website, and online food order apps. These properties currently have different looks, even though they share a common brand identity.
During the next six months, Louis Lattimorewill design a new brand identity for the physical locations as well as the website and apps. The aim is to have a visual theme that runs through all the properties.
The timeline for delivery and brand reveal is to finish everything and launch prior to the Easter weekend. Succeeding with this timeline means coordinating the design teams and decorators so the final implementation happens concurrently.
The simultaneous launch of multiple designs and properties will require close coordination. Louis Lattimore will provide project management for the design implementation phase.
Any adjustments to the plans can be made by sending me a message via the Slack channel or by email at louis.lattimore@gmail.com
