FREELANCE PROPOSAL

Freelance Proposal

A proposal from Northwind Studio outlining the freelance engagement, scope, timeline, and investment for a defined project.

Engagement Overview

This proposal outlines the freelance engagement Northwind Studio will run for Acme Co. My approach is hands-on and pragmatic: I scope the work with you up front, break it into milestones, and deliver against them one at a time. Work is shared in a central working folder as it progresses, with weekly written updates and a final handoff package at close.

Objectives

• Deliver on the scoped outcomes agreed at kickoff without scope drift.
• Hit each milestone on schedule with clear written deliverables.
• Communicate proactively on progress, blockers, and decisions needed.
• Transfer work cleanly at close so your team can pick it up without me.

Scope of Work

The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review before the next begins.

What is included

• Kickoff call and written scope confirmation
• Milestone deliverables per the phase plan
• Weekly written progress updates
• Final files in the agreed formats
• Close-out documentation and handoff call

Not included: work outside the agreed scope, third-party licenses or subscription costs, revisions beyond the agreed rounds, and ongoing support after final delivery. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

Investment

The engagement is a fixed project fee, billed against milestones. Line items below map to the phases in the scope of work.
