How this works
I add new $10K+ website design and development opportunities throughout the week. You do not need to chase all of them.
Start with the newest projects
The list is there to help you quickly find the few projects where your experience, portfolio, location, platform, or point of view gives you a real reason to win.
Scan the deadline, budget, organization and project type first.
If something immediately looks wrong for you, skip it.
Don’t confuse a big budget with a good fit
A $100K project you’re poorly suited for is probably a worse opportunity than a $25K project that lines up almost perfectly with work you’ve already done.
Look for things like:
- Have you worked with this kind of organization before?
- Have you solved a similar problem?
- Does the scope line up with what you actually do well?
- Can you show them relevant work?
- Is there something about you that makes the choice make sense?
Read the actual RFP
My summary is there to help you decide whether the opportunity deserves your attention.
Before responding, read the full RFP.
Pay particular attention to the scope, evaluation criteria, required qualifications, timeline, submission instructions, and question period.
Use the question period
If they allow questions, use it when something important to scope or fit is unclear.
And when the organization publishes everybody’s questions and answers, read them.
Sometimes that tells you more about what they actually care about than the original RFP does.
Then decide: pursue or pass
You should be saying no to most of these.
If one looks unusually close to your sweet spot, that’s the one to spend your time on.
