From client brief to a clear proposal.

Turn call notes or a client brief into a proposal for brand, visual or web design. Start with phases and deliverables, set your fees, and make it your own before you send.

Before the work begins

The next brief should not mean another blank page.

You have understood the brief. Now you need to explain the work, define the scope and put a price on it.

01
Rewriting the same explanations.

Discovery, creative direction, guidelines, handover. The project changes, but you still find yourself writing out the same parts of your process.

02
Making the scope clear.

What does strategy include? How many concepts and revisions? A proposal needs to answer those questions before the client agrees to the fee.

03
Getting it ready to send.

The scope is ready, but the document still needs formatting, fee checks and a final read. That is time between a good conversation and a clear next step.

Scope and deliverables

Give every phase a clear scope.

Show the client what each phase includes, what you will deliver and where revisions fit. When a new request comes in, you have an agreed scope to refer back to.

Choose a discipline and project type to start with relevant phases and deliverables. Keep what fits, edit what needs changing, and remove anything outside the brief.

Project types

AirQuotes turns your discovery notes into these phases, with deliverables written so the client sees the thinking as work they are paying for.

01
Research & Audit
Stakeholder interviews · Competitor review · Current positioning audit
02
Positioning & Messaging
Value statement · Positioning map · Key messages
03
Strategy Handoff
Strategy summary document · Usage rules · Rollout notes
Phase sets sized to the job.
A landing page loads three phases, a web app seven. You start from the structure that matches the brief instead of deleting rows you never needed.
Deliverables under every phase.
Each phase arrives with its deliverable list written out, so the client reads what the fee covers at that point in the work.
Fee weighted across the phases.
Percentages sit on the phases you selected, and the totals recalculate when you add, remove or reorder one.
Your edits saved as a template.
Change a phase set once and save it to the studio library. The next proposal of that type opens with your version.

Edit the phases, deliverables and exclusions to match the work you are offering.

How it works

Your brief. Your proposal.

Start with the information you have. Review the draft, confirm the scope and fees, then share it with your client.

01
Add your brief.

Paste a call transcript, client brief or email thread to give the draft its project context.

02
Review the draft.

Choose the phases and deliverables that fit. Check the wording, set your fees and confirm the payment milestones.

03
Send a link.

Share a branded proposal link for your client to read and sign, or export a PDF. Track visits to the shared proposal.

From draft to decision

Keep the details together.

Your studio branding.

Use your logo, colours and typography so the proposal feels like part of your studio from the first page.

Deliverables in plain language.

Start with descriptions of the work in each phase, then adapt them to explain exactly what this client is buying.

View tracking.

See who opened the proposal and which sections they spent time reading, so you have context for your follow-up.

E-signature.

Your client can review and sign the shared proposal in their browser.

Templates you can reuse.

Save your edited structure in the studio library and use it as the starting point for the next project.

A place for every enquiry.

Keep deals and their proposals together. Move each opportunity through your pipeline as the conversation progresses.
