<p>As a web designer, you got into the job to create excellent websites and software. What you may not have realised, though, is that there’s a lot of work that goes towards you being able to do this. Writing web design proposals is one such job that you’ll have to do again and again. Here’s how you can write a web design proposal that will get you the job, every time.</p>
<h3><strong>Use A Template</strong></h3>
<p>Now, every business you go to will have different needs, and so you’ll have to create your web design proposal around them. However, there’s plenty of things you’ll need to include again and again. Because of this, it’s a good idea to create a template for yourself. When you come to write a new proposal, you can change out sections as needed, which will help you out when you’re up against deadlines.</p>
<h3><strong>Don’t Take Too Long To Write A Proposal</strong></h3>
<p>“It’s easy to spend hours agonising over a proposal,” says designer Jim Thompson at <a href="https://australianhelp.com/do-my-assignment">Do My Assignment</a>. “You want to give the client exactly what you want. If you take too long though, they may move onto someone else.” Remember, you’re the web designer, and you know what will work best for your client. Try and bring down the time you spend on each proposal, so you can get on with more important work.</p>
<h3><strong>Answer The Client’s Burning Questions</strong></h3>
<p>Your proposal needs to answer all the questions that your client has. These can be boiled down to three basic queries:</p>
<p>1. How much will this cost?</p>
<p>2. What will my money buy me?</p>
<p>3. How long will this take?</p>
<p>Your entire proposal needs to aim to answer these questions. If there’s something in there that doesn’t help answer these queries, then you should be safe to cut it.</p>
<h3><strong>Define The Problem</strong></h3>
<p>You’ll need to define exactly what the problem is that you’re looking to solve with your website design. Does your customer need somewhere they can sell online? Does the website need to show customers past work they’ve done? Whatever it is, you’ll need to show how your plan will solve it for them.</p>
<p>You’ll also need to lay out your goals for the production of the site. What do you want to do, and when do you want to do it by? The more clear you can be on this point, the better.</p>
<h3><strong>Online Resources To Help You</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>Create A Cost Breakdown</strong></h3>
<p>It’s much easier for a client to see exactly what they’re paying for if you break it all down for them. The best way to do this is to list out exactly what work will need to be done, and list what each job will cost them. Remember to write this list in a way that shows you’re solving the client’s problem. For example, you may write:</p>
<p>· Build website for restaurant: $1700</p>
<p>· Write website copy and include quality images: $800</p>
<p>· Ensure website is found in searches for restaurants and broader topics: $1000</p>
<h3><strong>Proofread And Edit</strong></h3>
<p>Finally, before you send that proposal you’ll need to edit it. Give yourself enough time to come back to the proposal and read through it carefully, ensuring that there are no errors in the text. Remember, you’re bidding for the job. You want to show that you pay attention to detail. Editing your proposal carefully will do this for you.</p>
<p>Use these tips to help you create concise but descriptive web design proposals, every time. When written carefully, you’ll be able to get any design job that you have your sights set on.</p>
