Quote Request Form
A quote request form exists so your first reply can be a price. Four answers usually do it: what they want, where, when, and roughly what they expect to spend.
For small businesses and independent professionals.
A quote request without a budget is a research project
Without a budget range you're guessing at the tier of solution, so you either quote high and look expensive or quote low and lose money. Either way you'll be revising it, which means two more emails.
Asking for a range is not rude - it reads as a business that has done this before. The ones who won't answer are the ones comparing eleven suppliers, and finding that out on the form is a gift.
A quote request that actually contains the job
"How much do you charge?" is unanswerable, and answering it with a range makes you look expensive to some and cheap to others. The fix isn't a longer reply - it's a better question.
Scope, timing, location and budget are on this form because those four answers turn a vague enquiry into something you can price with confidence, usually without a call.
The forms every business needs, without the software
Most businesses need four or five forms and get sold a platform with forty features. The result is a monthly bill, a builder to learn and a page that takes three seconds to appear.
This is the opposite: one template, edited in a minute, published as a page that loads in one request. Free for your first form, and $10 a month if you need more than one.
Let them show you, not describe it
A sentence about the problem is a guess; a photo is a fact. This template asks for the details in the customer's own words *and* keeps the questions short enough that they answer all of them.
Make it yours in a minute
Change the wording, drop the questions you don't need, add the ones you do, put your own colour on it. Saving publishes it, and you get a link to paste into your website, your email signature or a message. Responses land in your dashboard and download as a spreadsheet whenever you want them.

Questions
What if they don't know what they need?
Offer a "please advise" option on the scope question and ask for the problem instead. Some of your best work comes from enquiries that started as "not sure".
How fast should I reply to a quote request?
Same day if you can. Most people ask two or three suppliers, and the first useful reply wins a disproportionate share of the work.
Can I ask for photos or files?
Not yet - uploads are on the roadmap. In the meantime, most people ask for a link to photos, or reply to the response with an email asking for them. Everything else about the job is captured here.
Can I see where each quote request came from?
Yes. Add a hidden tracking parameter to the link (for example one link on your site and another on your Google profile) and it's stored with the response.
How fast can I put this live?
About a minute. Pick the template, change the wording, press save - saving is publishing - and you get a link to share.
How many forms can I have?
One on the free plan, with ten responses. Pro is $10 a month for unlimited forms and unlimited responses - one plan, no tiers, no per-response pricing.
