Title: When you send a proposal for a project to a new client, what are the headings? How long? How pretty is it? Can you share an example?<p>I&#x27;ve been freelancing for a few years now, and am pretty ad hoc about the proposals that I write up. I&#x27;d love to see examples of how others approach this.<p>FWIW, my headings are usually:
- background (summarises my understanding of what problem the client has)
- vision (what they have asked me to build, in a sentence or two)
- solution (gets more specific about technologies, etc)
  - features (details the specific things it needs to do)
  - other considerations (browser targets, mobile, data management etc)
  - out of scope
  - optional extras (sometimes extra sections describing bits that they would have to pay extra for)
- pricing and timeframe: how much I&#x27;m charging, how quickly I agree to deliver, and milestones for payment&#x2F;review<p>I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s perfect. In particular, I think I&#x27;m missing a good way to communicate the quality I&#x27;m (not) promising, what kinds of iterations&#x2F;feedback&#x2F;bugs will be acted on, and various other assumptions.
