Follow up on a freelance web design proposal
Use this when you have already sent a website proposal and are waiting for a decision. Follow the review date you agreed with the client. If you did not agree on a date, leave them time to review, then send one short follow-up with the proposal date and one easy question.
For a small website redesign, remind the client what they are reviewing and let them ask about the scope or timing without pressure. Mention a start date only if you can still offer it.

Would you like to move ahead, discuss a change, or leave this for now? Thanks, [Your name]
