Request Proposal

Tell us which workflow keeps your business running.

Use this page to request a written proposal for a W3Patterns Business Reliability System. The goal is not to collect every technical detail up front. The goal is to understand the workflow you want verified, where it runs, and what a successful outcome should look like.

Before you submit

What we are looking for.

W3Patterns configures Business Reliability Systems around real business workflows. The most useful proposal requests describe what the business needs to verify, not just which server or website exists.

For example, instead of only saying “monitor our website,” it is more helpful to describe the workflow: “customers visit our site, complete a quote request form, and receive confirmation that the request was submitted.”

If you are not sure what should be monitored, that is fine. Share what you know. W3Patterns may follow up with clarifying questions before preparing a proposal.

Helpful details to include

  • The workflow you want verified
  • Whether it is public-facing, private, or both
  • The business impact if the workflow fails
  • Who should receive alerts
  • Any important systems involved, such as payment providers, forms, portals, APIs, or internal applications
  • Any preferred timeline or urgency
What happens next

From request to written proposal.

After you submit the form, W3Patterns reviews the request and prepares the next step. The process is designed to be clear before any work begins.

Step 1 Request reviewed

W3Patterns reviews the workflow, deployment environment, timeline, and business context you provided.

Step 2 Clarifications if needed

If anything is unclear, W3Patterns may reach out to ask a few focused questions before writing the proposal.

Step 3 Written proposal prepared

The proposal defines the scope, pricing, timeline, deliverables, assumptions, and acceptance criteria.

Step 4 Proposal sent by email

You receive the written proposal at the email address you provided in the request form.

Step 5 Approve and schedule

If the proposal is accepted, W3Patterns schedules the project and begins configuration of your Business Reliability System.

Good starting examples

Not sure what to request?

Many first projects start with one workflow that is easy to understand and important to the business. The first workflow does not need to cover everything. It should prove the value of the Business Reliability System and create a foundation that can grow.

Common first workflows

  • Customer login
  • Quote request submission
  • Appointment booking
  • Contact form submission
  • Customer portal access
  • Checkout journey
  • Report or invoice download
  • Private internal business process
Technical readiness

A few practical questions help shape the proposal.

You do not need to have every answer before requesting a proposal. These questions simply help W3Patterns understand how the Business Reliability System may need to be deployed and configured.

Do you control DNS for the relevant domain?

This may matter if the system needs a dedicated hostname, certificate, or dashboard URL.

Can your team provide a test account if login is required?

Workflow verification is safer and more reliable when it uses a dedicated test or monitoring account.

For private workflows, can your team provide or approve a server in your environment?

Private workflows usually require the Business Reliability System to run where it can reach internal systems.

Are third-party services involved?

Payment providers, email services, APIs, forms, portals, and databases can all affect scope and pricing.

Proposal request

Start your Business Reliability System proposal.

Complete the form below. A written proposal will be sent to the email address you provide after the request has been reviewed.

Submitting this form starts the proposal process. It does not obligate you to purchase anything.

Describe the successful journey. Example: “A customer visits the website, logs in, opens the billing page, and downloads an invoice.”

This helps W3Patterns understand the business importance of the workflow.

You can list roles, teams, or specific email addresses if known.

Include any systems, services, APIs, payment providers, forms, portals, or internal applications involved.
