Turn every quote into a proposal they can book.

When a homeowner designs a flower bed on your website, they get their own animated proposal a few seconds later: their bed drawn to scale, every plant, how you build it, your guarantees, the price, and a button to book it with a deposit. You see when they open it and when they pay. A branded invoice and receipt come with it. Download it, hand the folder to Claude, and it sets it up around your business. Made in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Get the download

We'll email you the link. It's free, and the code is yours to keep.

The link comes from nick@redwaterrev.com. You'll also get our newsletter on using AI in a local business. Every one of those emails has a one-click unsubscribe. This browser remembers your email, so your next download is one click. See our privacy policy.

What's inside

From quote to deposit, without the phone tag.

We built this live on camera in our free video series for local business owners, for a made-up Lake Charles landscaping company, then cleaned it up so any local service business can use it.

Animated proposals

A proposal for every quote

Every bed design sent from your website turns into a proposal page: the customer's own bed drawn from the front and from above, each plant and what it does, how you build it, what happens after they say yes, and the price at the bottom. Six designs to pick from, from a 3D yard that changes with the seasons to a letter with drawings that sketch themselves.

Deposits

Booked with a deposit

A Book my install button takes the deposit through your own Stripe account. Start in Stripe's test mode and try every step with a test card before any real money moves. Without Stripe, the button marks the proposal approved and reminds you to call for the deposit.

Tracking

Know when they open it

Your dashboard shows each proposal as sent, opened, approved or paid, and how many times they looked. A paid deposit goes into your books and puts "call to set the install date" at the top of your list, with any care add-ons they ticked.

Invoices and receipts

Paperwork with your promises on it

A branded invoice with your guarantees in plain words, the customer's name filled in and a box to sign with a finger. The receipt turns each guarantee into real dates and lays out the install day by day. The invoice is a design to start from: it doesn't charge cards yet.

How it works

You answer questions. Your AI does the setup.

Download it

Get the folder

Enter your email above. The download link lands in your inbox a minute or two later.

Hand it to your AI

Let it read the setup file

Unzip it, open Claude in the folder, and tell it to read START-HERE-FOR-YOUR-AI.md. It asks about your deposit, your guarantees, how you build a job and which proposal design you like, then sets up the website, the dashboard and the invoice with you. If you watched the video, give it the transcript too.

Put it live

On your own accounts

Your AI puts everything on your own Vercel and Stripe accounts, with your own domain. Every test goes to your inbox and runs on Stripe's test mode first. Your data stays on accounts in your name. We never get a copy.

Who it's for

Owners who send quotes and hear nothing back.

We're two brothers in Lake Charles who build software for local businesses. If you've ever sent a price and waited a week for an answer, this is for you. The sample is a made-up landscaping company, so its proposal draws flower beds, but the steps (quote, proposal, deposit, invoice, receipt) fit landscapers, tree services, roofers, electricians, cleaners and contractors in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, Westlake and Lafayette. Your AI rewrites it for your trade, your guarantees and your prices, so it works wherever you are.

It builds on two of our other free downloads, and both are inside this one: the AI website + speed to lead and the dashboard from the AI daily brief. Already running them? Only a few files changed, and the README lists them. Want to see what we build for paying clients? Look through our work.

Before you start

What it doesn't do.

Questions

Common questions.

Is it really free?

Yes. No card and no trial. You get the code under the MIT license and you own your copy. The only costs are the accounts it runs on, which are in your name.

Do I need your other downloads first?

No. The website and the dashboard from our earlier downloads are inside this one, with the proposal parts added. If you already run them, your AI copies over only the files that changed.

Does it take real payments?

The deposit button on a proposal does, through your own Stripe account, once you switch Stripe from test mode to live. Start in test mode. The invoice and receipt are a design for now: Accept and pay doesn't charge a card.

Does the AI email my customers on its own?

Only the instant reply to the person who filled out your form. A homeowner who sent a bed design gets a thank-you with the link to their proposal. The calls, the scheduling and everything after that are yours.

Is it only for landscapers?

No. The sample draws flower beds because it's a made-up landscaping company. Your AI can swap the bed designer for the quote your trade needs, and the proposal, deposit, invoice and receipt work the same way.

What do I need to get started?

A computer, Claude (or another AI coding agent), a domain, and Vercel, Resend and Stripe accounts in your name. Your AI walks you through it one step at a time, starting on your own computer with test data.

Can Redwater set it up for me?

Yes. We're based in Lake Charles and build custom versions of this for local businesses. Book an AI audit and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for you.

Rather have it built for you?

Start with an AI audit. We'll look at what happens today between your quote and the customer's yes, and where jobs slip away.
