Title: Outline for Presentation of Website Design Proposal
Course: Canvas Practice Course > Section: September 13th Business Communications

OUTLINE FOR PRESENTATION OF DESIGN PROPOSAL

You will be writing a proposal in response to an invitation from Business Resources Programs (BRP) to design a website for that company.  Your design firm has completed and submitted the proposal.  Now, you have to give an oral presentation, to the management staff of BRP of your proposal.  The object of this presentation is to clarify the plans and ideas you have included in the written proposal and to beat out the competition, other Reno design firms, and be awarded a contract for the BRP website design.  In other words, this is both an instructional and a persuasive presentation.

Your presentation must include the following content:

Thesis – your main point

BACKGROUND FOR PROJECT

PROPOSED APPROACH

WORKS CITED

A list, prepared in MLA format, of the outside resources you have consulted to date

You will be submitting this outline to me before your final written proposal is due.  I anticipate you will consult additional outside resources to complete the written proposal.  You need to also include a list, prepared again in MLA format, to your written proposal that includes all the outside resources you have used to prepare both the written proposal and the oral presentation.
