Freelancing is an art, a hustle, and a full-time business rolled into one. You’re not just a designer, writer, developer, or consultant—you’re also the marketing team, the customer service rep, the accountant, and yes, the proposal writer. And let’s be real: proposal writing is one of the trickiest parts of freelancing. You might have the skills to deliver top-notch work, but if your proposal doesn’t convince a client in the first few seconds, you’re likely to lose that opportunity.
That’s the problem we set out to solve. That’s why Pendown exists.
Born from the Freelance Hustle
Pendown was built inside That Nerd Studio, a creative and development agency that works closely with freelancers, startups, and growing teams around the world. Through our projects, we saw a recurring struggle—amazing talent losing gigs because they weren’t pitching themselves right. We asked ourselves: what if proposals weren’t a chore? What if writing them was fast, smart, and actually helped freelancers land better jobs? That thought sparked the first version of Pendown.
Proposal Writing, Reimagined
Pendown is more than a proposal generator. It’s a freelancer’s proposal command center. Here’s how we’re changing the way freelancers pitch, present, and persuade:
1. Pre-Built, Customizable Templates
Start with professional templates designed specifically for services like design, development, consulting, marketing, and more. Every layout is clean, structured, and built around what clients want to see. No more Googling “freelance proposal template” or staring at a blank document. Just pick your template, plug in your details, and send.
2. AI-Generated Suggestions
Not sure how to word your intro or describe your pricing structure? Pendown’s built-in AI assistant offers smart, persuasive suggestions that align with your tone and service. It’s like having a writing coach right beside you—without the hourly fee.
3. Clean, Professional Layouts
First impressions matter. Pendown makes sure every proposal looks sharp and on-brand. No weird formatting, no clunky PDFs. Just sleek, responsive proposals that are easy to read and even easier to say “yes” to.
4. Real-Time Proposal Tracking
Send and forget? Not anymore. Pendown tells you exactly when a client has opened your proposal. That means you know the perfect time to follow up, address concerns, or nudge the deal forward.
Why This Matters for Freelancers
Think of all the time you’ve spent creating proposals. Now think of how many of those didn’t convert. Freelancers lose dozens of hours (and potentially thousands of dollars) each year just on writing, editing, and guessing their way through proposals. Pendown gives that time back—and then multiplies your chances of success. More than just convenience, it gives freelancers:
- 1. Confidence: Know your proposals are structured to close deals.
- 2. Consistency: Save templates, reuse winning formats, and scale up.
- 3. Control: Track views, stay updated, and take action quickly.
In short: Pendown turns proposals into a strategy, not just a document.
Trusted by Freelancers, Backed by Builders
We didn’t build Pendown in a vacuum. It was developed with feedback from real freelancers—people like you, who juggle projects, chase clients, and build businesses on their own terms. Our beta users helped shape every feature. From UI tweaks to smart content prompts, Pendown reflects what real people need—not just what sounds good in theory. And because we’re part of That Nerd Studio, we have the tech and creative firepower to constantly improve, expand, and support the platform.
