Who this is for

    

      

        
Pitching new work

        
A written proposal is a filter as much as a sales document.

      

      

        
Repeat clients

        
Even familiar work benefits from written scope.

      

      

        
Protecting against scope creep

        
You cannot point at an agreement you never wrote down.

      

      

        
Raising your rate

        
A proposal that shows the work justifies the number attached to it.

      

    

  


  

    
Questions

    

      
What is the most important section?

      
What is not included. Almost every dispute about freelance work is a disagreement about scope, and exclusions are the cheapest insurance there is.


      
How many revisions should I offer?

      
A specific number, whatever it is. 'Unlimited revisions' sounds generous and is how projects run for months unpaid.


      
Should I ask for a deposit?

      
Common practice for new clients is a share up front, with the balance on delivery or in staged payments. It aligns the risk on both sides.
