FREELANCER BID
The project runs across three phases. Each closes with a milestone deliverable and a short review before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · ALIGNMENT AND SETUP
Kickoff call to confirm the brief line by line, share access and reference materials, agree the milestone schedule, and lock the definition of done for each deliverable.
PHASE 2 · DELIVERY
Focused execution against the brief, milestone deliverables shared for review, and weekly written updates so progress and blockers are visible without you having to ask.
PHASE 3 · HANDOFF
Final files delivered in the formats requested, a short handoff walkthrough, and closeout through the platform with all deliverables archived for your records.
Not included: work beyond the bid scope, third-party costs (stock assets, licenses, plugins), rush upcharges at 1.5x for compressed timelines, and extended maintenance after handoff. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Freelance Bid Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
