Noerong Proposals: White-Label Proposal and Approval SaaS

A complete proposal workflow for independent teams

Noerong Proposals is a production-ready SaaS built for freelancers, consultants, studios, and small agencies that still create scope in documents, calculate pricing in spreadsheets, and chase approvals through email.

THE PROBLEM

The proposal process was fragmented. Scope, pricing, client feedback, and the final decision lived in separate places. Teams lacked a consistent branded experience and a reliable record of what happened.

PRODUCT STRATEGY

I reduced the workflow to five clear jobs:

Keep client information organized.

Compose and price an accurate scope of work.

Share one secure, branded proposal link.

Capture views, comments, and the final decision.

Give the business a trustworthy pipeline and activity record.

WHAT I DESIGNED AND BUILT

Authenticated workspace Each user receives a protected workspace with isolated client, proposal, settings, and activity data.

Client management Create, edit, search, archive, and review client records with company details, contact information, and internal notes.

Structured proposal builder Compose services, descriptions, quantities, rates, line discounts, a proposal-level discount, tax, currency, notes, terms, and expiry dates. Totals update while the proposal is built.

Secure client review Each prepared proposal receives a high-entropy public link. Clients can review the complete scope, comment, and accept or decline without creating an account.

Proposal lifecycle Draft, Viewed, Accepted, Rejected, and Expired states make the pipeline understandable at a glance. Every important event is recorded chronologically.

Business branding Business name, logo, color, contact details, currency, tax rate, standard terms, and proposal-number prefix are configured from one place.

Reviewer-friendly onboarding Clearly labelled fictional sample clients and proposals help evaluators understand the complete workflow without presenting sample records as real client work.

VISUAL DIRECTION

The interface combines a warm ivory base, deep ink typography, a restrained lime accent, editorial headings, subtle borders, generous whitespace, and focused motion. The goal was a premium client-facing product, not another generic dashboard template.

BUILT WITH BOLT

Bolt was the primary product-building environment. I planned and completed the application in focused product phases, then performed a separate production and security audit. The stack includes Bolt, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase authentication, PostgreSQL, Row Level Security, RPC functions, and a server-side public proposal function.

PRODUCTION HARDENING

• User-isolated data access • Restricted database functions and safe search paths • Exact production-origin CORS policy • High-entropy public-token validation • Expired-link and invalid-link handling • Decision locking after acceptance or rejection • Safe client-facing error messages • Unsaved-work warnings • Keyboard access, reduced motion, responsive layouts, and print styles • Calculation tests for quantity, rate, discount, and tax

FINAL RESULT

Noerong Proposals is live as a complete proposal and approval workflow. It helps independent teams present their work professionally, price it accurately, share one branded link, and keep a reliable decision history.
