# From a practice task to a small service

This guide helps you describe work you can show. It is not evidence of demand or an earnings forecast. Finish the exercises and retain the checked files before treating them as examples of what you can deliver.

## Three offers you can explain

| Offer | Concrete delivery | Decide with the client before starting |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One-page website audit | A report with source-located observations, priorities and proposed checks | Which page, evidence access, review depth and report format; implementation is separate |
| Homepage copy refresh | Section-by-section copy and a brief change/source note | Which sections, authoritative facts, voice, revision allowance and delivery format |
| Useful client download | One task-focused checklist or worksheet, editable source, short download description and agreed export | Reader, source material, format/length, branding, revision allowance and export method |

You can combine an audit and copy refresh when those deliverables are both agreed. A report alone does not include rebuilding the site. A worksheet alone does not include an email funnel. These boundaries make the buyer's choice and your delivery check concrete.

## Prepare a reviewable proposal

Use the [client brief](../../templates/free/client-brief.md). Write the requested result, supplied inputs, exact files you will deliver, checks you will perform, exclusions, revision allowance, fee/currency and the event that starts the agreed delivery period. Ask for the few unresolved facts that affect that offer. Don't let the model fill them with industry conventions.

Estimate your own effort for understanding, production, review, changes and handoff. Identify any tool charges before setting a price. Leave unknown costs visible. Decide your fee deliberately; a model-generated number is not evidence of a market rate. The free pack supplies no tax calculator or ready-made contract. The paid pack's pricing workflow can help record an estimate if you later need it.

After agreement, keep the agreed version with the inputs. Track changes against it. A new page, language or receiving integration is a new decision; clarify its impact before doing it or promising a deadline.

## Show the example honestly

You may describe your exercise like this after producing and checking your own files:

> Practice project: a fictional alterations homepage. I compared the supplied page with its business brief, identified unsupported promises and an incomplete enquiry path, and wrote replacement copy. Included: the source evidence, report, copy and checks. No real client engagement or conversion result is represented.

Replace this with the work you actually completed. If you show the pack's supplied answer, label it **“Supplied teaching example from Practical Dept.”**, not as work you independently produced. Adapt your own brief and complete another example to demonstrate transfer. A new business name alone is not a new case study.

For the worksheet, show the reader's task, an actual page and what can be edited. Do not show confidential client input or pretend a fictional enquiry is a testimonial. You can describe the commissioned output you offer without redistributing this pack's skill instructions or answer library.

## Run a small rehearsal

1. Choose one offer and write its scope using the template.
2. Complete it on an original fictional brief without looking at the answer while producing your result.
3. Check facts and actual files. Record effort and tool use as observed, not guessed.
4. Package the agreed files with [the delivery checklist](../../templates/free/delivery-checklist.md). Write down what was checked and what remains for the buyer to decide.

This is practice you can complete alone. Later, a real buyer or learner can test whether the offer is understandable and valuable. No outreach, contact-list purchase, account connection or publication is needed to complete this guide.
