01Executive summary

Why now.

Northstar Kitchen Co. is ready for a website that reflects the quality of its hospitality work and turns more visitor interest into qualified project inquiries. Studio Atlas will redesign the public website around clearer positioning, faster discovery of services, and a more direct path from inspiration to consultation.

02Business case

The Challenge

Solution Overview

Studio Atlas will create a modern responsive site with refreshed messaging, redesigned core pages, improved inquiry flows, and launch-ready implementation support.

Proposal Validity
30 days
MSA Reference

This proposal may be attached to a separate services agreement if the parties choose to execute one.

IP Ownership

Client owns final approved website deliverables after all fees are paid. Studio Atlas retains ownership of reusable methods, tools, and pre-existing materials.

Termination Clause

Either party may terminate with written notice. Work completed through the termination date remains payable.

Template questions

What should a web design proposal include?

A strong web design proposal should include the business problem, recommended approach, scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing, payment terms, and approval terms.

How do I price a website redesign proposal?

Use phased pricing tied to discovery, design, build, and launch work. That makes payment milestones easier to explain and reduces ambiguity around what is included.

Can I use this template for a small website project?

Yes. Keep the same structure, then trim the engagement plan, deliverables, and investment table to match the size of the client project.

Should a proposal include contract terms?

Include light commercial terms such as ownership, expiration, payment timing, and termination. A separate master services agreement can handle deeper legal terms.
