Adrian, I do everything in 1 doc. Start off with a proposal at a business level, then do the specifications (any tech stuff), then end with a quote and various extra options.
The one thing I hate about doing quotes and specs is that clients usually ask several companies for a response and cherry pick all the best ideas for free. So if you give too much away (ideas etc) then it doesn't mean at all that you stand a better chance of winning - they simply steal your ideas and go with: a) Their mate who runs a development outfit (they had to get in quotes because it's a formatlity) b) The cheapest 'cos they're skin flints c) The company who gave them the most confidence that they could do it on budget and on time and support it without any weak links (such as multiple developers in case 1 got hit by a bus) Good luck mate.

Can anyone point me to some good resources about such things. The more web-centric the better. The ones I've seen in the past have always seemed to lack details that I think are important, like the deadline shifting if intermediate deadlines aren't met, what exactly does the client own at the end, that sort of thing. Also, I can see how a quote or proposal could contain details that may be better off in a specification(which I find so much easier to write!). Any thoughts on that? Thanks.
