How to Write Your Web Design Proposal

I saw somebody today on a FB group asking:

“How do I make a web design proposal? Should I list my skillsets? Or sell the solution? Or make a custom proposal for each customer?”

It’s not that hard, do this:

1. Send a link to your website. Preferably with a cool catchy domain name that stands out. You should also decide if you want to represent yourself as a trustworthy 1-man/woman show, small niche team, or a high-end agency.
2. Include links of 3-5 best websites you’ve done.
3. Talk a little bit about why you’re the best fit for their project. List examples of similar sites you’ve done and the research you did to prove that you know how to make them stand out among their peers.

Need an example?
