IXD302 – Reading Task

A Project Guide To UX Design

 

Chapter 3: Proposals for Consultants and Freelancers

As part of our research for creating a proposal document, Daniel asked us to read this chapter from A Project Guide to UX Design.

I am going to summarise some key points that I thought were important as I read through this chapter.

 

Proposals and statements of work are essential to protecting you and your business from financial and legal troubles… Make sure you spend the right amount of time composing an agreement that details the terms of your relationship and the payment schedule for your client.

 

The Core Components of a Proposal:

  • Title page
  • Revision history
  • Project overview
  • Project approach
  • Scope of work
  • Assumptions
  • Deliverables
  • Ownership and rights
  • Additional costs and fees
  • Project pricing
  • Payment schedule
  • Acknowledgement and sign-off

 

Title Page

A typical title page consists of the following:

  • Client company name
  • Client company logo (with permission to use it)
  • Project title
  • Document type (proposal)
  • Version of proposal
  • Submission date
  • Your company name
  • Proposal authors
  • Project reference number
  • Cost
  • Confidentiality

 

For your first proposal – include everything suggested above (except the client’s company logo, cost, and potentially the project ref. number).

The company already knows who they are. Cost is best placed after you have identified the components of the project in the body.

 

The book then goes on to explain what each section of a proposal document is, and what to include within them.

I found this information to be very useful, and I’m sure it will aid me in successfully making my first proposal document for our brief:

“The job in question is to design a website and brand to represent Hill Street in Belfast”.
