If you ask any web developer about their least favorite aspect of their job, chances are they will say “writing the website proposal”.

Writing a website proposal is not particularly exciting for a web designer/developer, primarily because proposals are full of words about the design and the development, so it is often perceived as a tedious exercise. Most developers now conveniently dodge this step by reading reviews from websites like https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/webcreationuk.com to hire people who’d do the drudgery for them.

Initially, I shared the perception about website proposals as most web designers/developers. Recently, however, writing proposals has been a lot of fun for me.

So what changed?

My change of heart toward writing proposals likely stemmed from my philosophy of my role as a web developer.

More like a partner

As a website designer/developer, I think of myself as a partner to my client in his/her business. I spend quite a bit of time researching the industry and the needs of the target audience, which subsequently guides the design and layout of the website.

In addition to being elegant and user-friendly, I strive to create designs that communicate the messages that need to reach the target audience of the website. In so doing, the website would complement and enhance my clients’ business efforts and help them achieve their business goals.

Putting all this together in proposal format is exciting, because the website proposal represents a realistic and solid plan to realize the vision of my clients and help them accomplish their business goals – and that would make me happy as their (temporary) business partner.
