UX DESIGN PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review session before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · RESEARCH + IA
Stakeholder interviews, user interviews across your target segments, synthesis of findings, and an information architecture with user flows and a sitemap that maps the priority journeys.
PHASE 2 · DESIGN + PROTOTYPING
Low-fidelity wireframes for the core flows, iteration with your team, and a high-fidelity interactive prototype covering the key screens ready for testing and stakeholder review.
PHASE 3 · TESTING + ITERATION
One round of moderated usability testing with target users, a written readout with prioritized recommendations, and a final iteration on the prototype before handoff to your build team.
Not included: visual design system or brand work, front-end development, ongoing usability testing beyond the one round in scope, and research participant incentives. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The UX 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.
