Proposal generator
A proposal is a quote with a story: why this project, what exactly happens, and what it costs. Write the four sections, price the work, and print a clean page. Everything stays in your browser.

What makes proposals win
Winning proposals share a shape: the client's problem restated in their words (proof you listened), a scope precise enough to defend itself, a visible expiry date, and one price anchored to an outcome rather than an hour count.
Notes
Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored on our side. Print to PDF via your system dialog. For recurring work, pair this with the quote and invoice generators; the retainer calculator prices the ongoing part.
FAQ
- How long should a freelance proposal be?
- One page wins more than ten. Busy clients decide on the overview and the price; everything else exists to remove doubts, not to add words. If a section is not removing a doubt, cut it.
- Should I send the price in the proposal or discuss it first?
- Discuss budget BEFORE writing anything: a 15-minute call that surfaces the range saves you from proposing $12k to a $3k budget. The written proposal then confirms a number the client has already half-accepted.
- One price or three options?
- Three tiers (lean, recommended, premium) reliably lift the average deal: most clients pick the middle, and the premium tier makes it look reasonable. Use tiers when scope genuinely flexes; a fake tier that nobody should buy reads as a trick.
