1. Creating a Proposal Template for Freelance Clients


If you’ve started designing with Canva and want to turn it into a paying opportunity, this is your roadmap.

When a client shows interest, you need to send them a proposal — not just messages like “I can do it.”

A proposal makes you look professional. It tells the client:

  • What you understand about their request
  • What you`ll do
  • How long it will take
  • What it will cost

What to include:

  • Client’s Name & Project Title
  • Short Summary of Their Need
  • What You Will Deliver (e.g. 3 Instagram posts, logo, brand kit)
  • Timeline (e.g. 2–3 days delivery)
  • Price
  • Your Contact Info


To prepare a proposal in Canva:

  1. Go to Canva and search “Proposal Template”
  2. Choose one and customize it with:
    • Your name
    • Sample design offer
    • Add your contact info and social handles
  3. Save it as a PDF — now you’re ready to pitch anytime.
