Send your proposal as a page. Get the yes in writing.

Fill in the scope, the price and the terms. Nine dollars later you have a link to send, and when your client accepts, you both get an email with their name and the time.

The page reads like a well-set letter and prints on one or two sheets. Have a look at a sample proposal and the same one after it was accepted.

That is for one proposal, paid once. Edit it as often as you like until it is accepted. The page stays up for a year.

Who it is from and to

Your name or business Your email

The acceptance notice and your edit link go here.

Client name Client email (optional)

If you add it, the client gets a copy of the acceptance by email too.

The proposal

Proposal title Opening paragraph

Say what you understood and what you will do, in a few plain sentences. A blank line starts a new paragraph.

Scope, one item per line

Each line becomes one numbered item on the page.

Price

Write it the way you would say it. The part before the first comma is set large.

Timeline Terms

Four plain terms are filled in to start. Change them or add your own, one per line.

Valid until

After this date the page says the offer has expired and hides the accept button.

Stripe takes the card. Nothing on this form is saved until the payment goes through.

Here is what you get.

A page at a private address.

The title, who it is from and to, your opening, the scope as a numbered list, the price set large, the timeline and the terms. It is set in a serif, reads well on a phone, and prints cleanly from the browser. Search engines are told to stay out.

An accept button that records the yes.

Your client types their name, ticks a box that says they agree to the scope, price and terms, and presses accept. The page records the name and the time, and from then on it shows that line instead of the form.

An email to both of you.

The moment they accept, you get an email saying who accepted what and when, with a link back to the page. If you gave us the client's address, they get the same email.

Edits until it is accepted.

A private edit link lets you change any field. Once the client accepts, the page is fixed, which is the point of recording it.

A date it stops being valid.

After the date you set, the page says the offer has expired and hides the button, so a price from March cannot be accepted in June.

Here is what it does not include.

It is not legal advice.

The four starting terms are plain and sensible, and nobody here is a lawyer. For large or unusual work, have yours read what you send.

It is not an e-signature service.

There is no drawn signature and no certificate. The record is the typed name, the time, and a hashed copy of the IP address. For most freelance work that is plenty. For anything that needs a notary, it is not.

It does not take the deposit.

Put your payment instructions in the terms, or send an invoice once you have the yes.

There is no PDF button.

Print the page or save it as a PDF from the browser's print dialog. It is laid out for that, and the acceptance line prints with it.

A few things to know before you pay.

Who made this?

John Howrey, the designer behind All the Possibles. The proposal page is set the way the studio sets its own work, and the home page is the standard.

Can I get the $9 back?

If you pay and change your mind before sending the link, write to hello@allthepossibles.com from the address you paid with and it comes back the same day.

How long does the page stay up?

At least a year from the day you pay. If that ever changes you get an email first, with time to save a copy.

Where does the text live?

In the studio's database on Cloudflare, under an address nobody can guess. It is not shared, sold or used for anything else. Times on the page are shown in UTC so they mean the same thing on both sides.
