Where to start
If you only read three, read the pillars. Each one is a full walk-through, and each links out to the shorter guides that go deeper on one decision.
- How to write a scope of work, the document that
defines what you're building, what you're not, and how change is handled.
- How to price a website, how to reach a number you can
stand behind, and present it so it holds.
sections that win the work and the mistakes that get proposals ghosted.
Scope & SOW
Define the work precisely, then protect that definition. These guides cover what goes in a scope, what to leave out, and how to keep both sides honest once the project starts.
Pricing
Reach a defensible number and present it well. These guides cover pricing models, buffers, ranges and the art of not over-itemising.
Proposals
Turn the scope and the price into a document a client says yes to. These guides cover structure, follow-up and reusing what you've written before.
Why we write these
We build ScopeDeck, the scoping and delivery-handoff platform for agencies and freelancers. That means we spend our days thinking about the exact problems these guides cover: how a quote becomes a spec, how a spec becomes a build plan, and how to stop detail leaking out at every hand-off. The guides are useful on their own. If they make you want a tool that keeps all of it on one document, that's what we make.
