“Tell us about your project.” Lovely. Then come seventeen compulsory questions, a budget interrogation and a phone number the visitor would rather not give yet. The spark is fading.
Your quote form has a smaller job: help the right person explain what they need, then make it easy for your business to respond.
A “request a quote” form collects the details a business needs to discuss or price a job: who to reply to, the service requested, a short description and any essential timing or location. It is an enquiry, not the quote itself.
Below are three editable templates, a field-by-field decision guide and a practical way to handle the request once it lands. No signup to get the wording. No need to ask for their life story, either.

The examples are fictional. Copy/download stays in your browser. This is not a Kibi import file or a live enquiry form.
Copy the questions into your form builder and replace the bracketed instructions before publishing. The general-service version is deliberately small; the other two add context for a specific kind of work.
The copyable version leaves out the fictional answers. Keep your own service choices, reply process and useful next step.

[Who reviews it] will [your actual next step]. This is an enquiry, not a confirmed quote or booking.
Illustrative manual routine with fictional people. Check the saved enquiry and choose the owner and next action; this is not an automatic sequence.
Adapt the wording and replace every bracket before publishing your own page. The preview uses the existing agency template; no form, price or response-time promise is being submitted here.
A digital marketing agency quote page should explain the work you offer, ask for the project’s goal and give the visitor a clear next step. Put the short brief beside honest reassurance, then confirm the request only after it is accepted.
Our fictional Northline Studio page shows how those parts fit together. It uses the agency questions above: service, business goal and a reply route first; public website, budget and timing as optional context. No account passwords, no “tell us your life story” energy.
Replace every bracket with a process your agency can actually deliver. A successful submission should leave someone able to review the brief, identify what is missing and plan the next conversation. That is the useful handoff into Kibi CRM.
| Page block | What to put there |
|---|---|
| Headline | Tell us what you want your marketing to do. |
| Short introduction | Invite a brief about a clearer website or more useful enquiries; a finished specification can wait. |
| Form | Name, email, service and project goal. Optional public website link, budget range and timing. |
| Reassurance | Say the details are used to reply about this request. Link your own privacy notice. |
| Confirmation | Acknowledge the saved enquiry and explain who reviews it and the actual next step. Do not imply a quote or call is already confirmed. |
| Team handoff | Review the goal, choose the responsible person and plan the next action in Kibi. |
Every extra question should earn its place.
Picture the person reading the request tomorrow morning. What do they need to decide: “Can we help, who should reply, and what do we need to ask next?” Build around that.
You do not need every detail needed to deliver the work. You need enough to begin a useful conversation. The rest can arrive when someone knows why you are asking.
| Question | Keep it when… |
|---|---|
| Name | Someone will reply personally. A full legal name can usually wait. |
| Email or phone | You need a reply route. The templates use email; use phone instead for a callback-first service. |
| Service requested | It helps check fit or direct the enquiry to the right person. Include an unsure option. |
| Short description | You need to understand the request before asking a sensible next question. |
| Location | Coverage or travel affects whether you can help. A town or postcode may be enough at first. |
| Timing | A genuine deadline affects fit. Distinguish a preference from a confirmed booking. |
| Budget range | It changes what you can propose. Explain why and offer room for uncertainty. |
| File upload | A photo or specification genuinely helps assess the job. Make the purpose and limits clear. |
Budget, phone number, files: ask with a little tact.
A budget question can help an agency suggest a sensible scope. It can also feel like naming your price before anyone has said hello. Explain what the answer helps you do.
Try “Do you have a budget range in mind?” with choices that fit your business and an “I’d like guidance” option. An unknown budget is still useful information.
For a phone number, say why you need it. If the next step is a call, ask for a suitable time and confirm it. Do not make people provide two contact methods just because the fields exist.
A photo may help with a damaged cupboard. An account password will not help your quote form behave better. Ask only for useful material and give sensitive documents a more appropriate route.
If you offer uploads, show the accepted file types and size limit before someone starts. Check where files are stored and who can access them. Do not assume every form-to-CRM connection transfers attachments.
Same starting point. Different conversations.
For an agency, the useful detail is often the business goal. “We want a new website” becomes a better conversation when you know visitors cannot understand the current services.
For a home-service business, service area and the problem itself may matter more. “Two cabinet doors will not close” is a useful first description; the precise cause can be discussed afterwards.
For another service business, start with the general template. Add one question that changes your next move. Leave out the sector-specific extras that do not apply.
Keep a distinction between a service request, a project brief and a supplier RFQ. A buyer sourcing a specified quantity of manufactured parts needs different detail from someone asking about a kitchen repair.
Give it the one-thumb test.
Open the actual page on your phone. Could you understand the first question, answer it and reach the button without wrestling the screen? Your visitor is probably doing this between other things.
Use visible labels rather than relying on placeholder text. Keep instructions beside the question they explain, and clearly mark what is required or optional.
W3C’s form guidance recommends descriptive labels and instructions about required input and formats. The practical benefit is simple: fewer mysteries for the person filling it in.
- Use a single column, readable text and controls that are easy to tap.
- Check that long service names, error messages and the send button fit the narrow screen.
- Use an email or telephone field where appropriate so the keyboard fits the task.
- Make “Other” and “Not sure yet” meaningful choices when the service list cannot cover every enquiry.
- Explain a validation error beside the field and keep the answers the person already entered.
- Test with the keyboard open, a longer description and any optional upload you actually offer.
Make the button honest. Make the thank-you useful.
“Request a quote” fits a request that your team will review. “Get my instant price” suggests something else entirely. Only use that promise if an actual calculation will appear.
After a successful save, explain the next step and a response time your team can meet. If a visit needs arranging, say that a request does not book the visit.
Here is editable wording: “Thanks — we’ve received your request. Our team will review it and contact you by [your real response time] to discuss the next step.”
Replace that bracket. Then check the promise against evenings, weekends and holidays. The form should not flirt with a deadline the team cannot keep.
Put it on the website you already have.
Use your existing form builder if it can handle the questions, validation and delivery you need. This guide is about a better request, not a compulsory website rebuild.
On WordPress, Kibi Forms is a free plugin for creating forms and reviewing saved native entries. If you already use Contact Form 7, our separate walkthrough explains connecting supported new submissions to Kibi CRM.
On Framer, Kibi Forms supplies editable designs and extra fields. The Marketplace edition uses Framer’s own submission settings and does not connect to Kibi CRM. Set and test the destination in Framer.
On another website platform, check the supported connection route before publishing. A nice-looking form and a working CRM connection are two separate things to verify.
The form did its bit. Give the enquiry a next step.
- 01 · The request
“Two cabinet doors need fixing.”
Alex asks about a repair. The description and preferred timing arrive with the enquiry.
- 02 · The person
Maya takes the next step.
The office gives the enquiry an owner. Maya checks whether a photo or a conversation is needed.
- 03 · The offer
Quote the work you understand.
After clarifying the scope, share a quote the customer can review and accept online.
- 04 · The next hello
“Call me after lunch on Friday.”
Record the agreement and plan a human follow-up in Today. A reply can change the plan.
A request sitting in an inbox can still be forgotten. The useful change is knowing who will reply and what they have agreed to do.
Kibi CRM keeps incoming enquiries, the responsible person and the next action together. Start with one request, check its details and give someone the next conversation.
Clarify the scope before preparing a quote. Kibi’s online quotes are available on every plan. The customer can accept the offer online; invoice creation and payment remain separate steps.
When the customer says “try me on Friday”, plan that human follow-up in Today. Check their latest reply before sending another message, so your team follows the conversation rather than an old plan.
Try that whole journey during Kibi’s 14-day trial, then choose a paid plan if it fits. One real workflow is a better test than a dashboard full of pretend leads.
Before publishing, follow one request all the way.
Use a clearly fictional test enquiry, a non-sensitive description and an address you control. Check the saved record before celebrating the notification.
Read the description where your team will actually work. Did the service, contact details and useful context arrive? If there is an attachment, check its actual destination separately.
Check who sees the request and who will answer. Then test a broken connection or a failed notification in a safe test setup. The person visiting your website should not have to diagnose it for you.
- The form is understandable on a narrow phone screen.
- Required-field errors are useful and the successful request is saved.
- Any notification reaches the intended business address.
- The CRM receives the supported fields when a connection is enabled.
- The right person can review it and plan the next action.
- The confirmation message matches what really happened.
A few questions before you make the first move.
What should a quote-request form include?
Start with the customer’s name, a reliable reply method, the service requested and a short description. Ask for timing, location, budget or files when those details change how you assess or respond to the job. Mark optional questions clearly.
What should a digital marketing agency request-a-quote page include?
Ask for a name, email, the service requested and what the project should achieve. Add optional website, budget-range and timing questions when they help you assess the work. The Agency project example above includes these questions, a clear button and confirmation wording to adapt. Give the saved enquiry an owner and a next action.
Is a quote request the same as a quotation?
No. A quote request asks a business to discuss or price some work. The quotation is the offer the business prepares after understanding the scope. Sending the request does not mean the work has been booked, accepted or paid for.
Should a quote form ask for a budget?
Ask when the answer helps you suggest a useful scope. Explain why, use ranges that fit your business and allow an unsure answer. A budget field is not essential for every service; a simple repair request may need a description and location instead.
Can I use these quote-request templates for free?
Yes. Copy the questions or download the plain-text version without signing up. Adapt them in your form builder, replace the bracketed guidance and test delivery. They are question templates, not working forms or import files. Kibi CRM is separate: a 14-day trial, then a paid plan.
Can a quote-request form calculate a price automatically?
Some form tools support calculations, but these templates do not calculate or issue a price. They gather enough information to assess the enquiry. Only promise an instant quote when your actual setup produces one.
How do I connect a quote-request form to Kibi CRM?
Use a supported website-form connection and check it with a test submission. On WordPress, Kibi Forms can connect selected forms; the Contact Form 7 guide covers the supported new-submission route. Confirm the actual field and file behaviour, then check the saved enquiry, owner and next action.
Useful references, without the homework pile.
The templates and fictional examples are original Kibi editorial material. The accessibility advice draws on W3C’s form tutorials. Once you are ready to issue the quote itself, use guidance relevant to your business and location.
