When another business is deciding whether to work with you, your proposal is only half of the picture. They will open a new tab and look you up, usually within minutes. If they find a tidy site that matches what you wrote, the proposal feels more solid. If they find nothing, or a page that looks abandoned, doubt creeps in even when your quote is excellent.
What a business buyer looks for
A buyer comparing suppliers wants quick answers to quiet questions. What exactly do you do? Who do you do it for? Have you handled work like mine? How do I reach a real person?
They are not looking for cleverness. They want specifics: the kinds of projects you take on, the industries or situations you understand, how you work and what a first conversation looks like. Real descriptions of capability do more than adjectives like trusted or experienced.
What belongs on the site
- ✓A plain statement of what you do — one sentence at the top of the home page
- ✓Service pages with scope — what is included, what is not, how it starts
- ✓Who you work with — the kinds of companies or situations, without naming clients unless you have permission
- ✓Your process — three or four steps so a buyer can picture working with you
- ✓A clear contact path — a form that reaches a person
Keep it honest and consistent with the proposal
We do not add logos of companies you have not worked with, invented numbers or customer quotes. If you want to name a client, you decide, and you confirm you have their permission.
It helps to keep the language aligned with your proposals: the same service names, the same description of your process and the same way of introducing yourself. When the buyer moves from the PDF to the website, it should feel like the same company.
What to gather
- ✓One or two past proposals with details removed — they show how you describe your work
- ✓Your capability list — services, sectors, locations and limits
- ✓A short bio of the people involved — names, roles and relevant background you want shown
- ✓Documents you want available — capability sheet or overview, supplied by you
What to expect, honestly
- ✓No invented credentials — we only show what you can state truthfully
- ✓No client names without permission — that choice is yours
- ✓A website does not win the bid — it supports your proposal
