3

Placeholder fields

Bracketed fields marking every spot that needs customising, the blue [fields] are your to-do list when filling it in.

Structured sections

Pre-built headings and tables in a logical order, so the document flows without you having to design it.

5

Guidance notes

Brief in-template hints on what goes where, which you delete as you complete each section.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make it look like our branding?

Swap the accent colours and add your logo to the header. The structure stays the same; the styling becomes yours in a few minutes.

Can I share this with my team?

Yes, it is free for team use. Customise one master copy with your company details, then distribute it as your internal standard.

Can I customise this template?

Yes, that is the point. Replace every blue [bracketed field] with your own details, add or remove rows to fit, then set the font colour to the same dark colour throughout for the finished document (body #1F2937, headings #1E3A8A, secondary #595959).
