What a freelance proposal usually contains
- A friendly opening that names the project
- The deliverables in plain language
- How you will work, including feedback and revisions
- Key dates, and when payments are due
- The price, with tax shown if it applies
- Terms on changes, ownership and portfolio use
Tips for freelancers
- Ask for a deposit, often 30 to 50 percent, before you start.
- Put the number of revisions in writing.
- Keep it short. A one or two page proposal is easier to say yes to.
This page gives general guidance and a starting template, not legal or financial advice. Have a professional review any contract before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Should a freelance proposal include hourly or fixed prices?
Fixed prices are easier for clients to approve when the scope is clear. Use quantity and rate lines, for example hours at an hourly rate, when the scope is open-ended.
Do I need a separate contract?
A signed proposal with clear terms can serve as a simple agreement for small jobs, but larger or riskier projects usually deserve a proper contract. Ask a professional if you are unsure.
Can I send this by WhatsApp or email?
Yes. Download the PDF and attach it to any message.
