How templates work in NovaDraft
The template is a display setting, not part of the document. Write once, restyle as often as you like.
- 1
Create the invoice or proposal
Pick a client and their name, email and address fill in. Add line items, or describe the project and let the AI draft the proposal sections.
- 2
Open the preview and pick a design
The Design tab lists all 27 templates with a colour swatch and a Pro tag on paid ones. Click one and the live preview re-renders your document in that layout.
- 3
Adjust labels, language and branding
In the Customize tab, rename any label ("Invoice" to "Tax Invoice"), switch the document to Arabic, and on Pro add your logo, colours, fonts and watermark text.
- 4
Export, and switch whenever you want
Download a PDF rendered server-side from the same page you previewed. The template choice is saved per document type, so a new look next month is one click.
Why every template is a 16:9 deck, not an A4 page
Most proposals are read on a laptop or phone, and most invoices are opened from an email. Portrait A4 was designed for a printer that is rarely involved.
Reads the way it is opened
A widescreen page fills a laptop display edge to edge. No pinching, no half-blank pages, and the investment table lands in one view.
Presentable on a call
Share your screen and walk the client through it page by page. Each proposal section gets its own page, so deliverables and price never crowd each other.
Still prints
Pages are a fixed 14 by 7.875 inches with CSS page breaks, so they print cleanly on landscape Letter or A4 when a client wants paper.
Who these templates are for
Solo operators and small teams who send documents every week.
Freelance developers and designers
Circuit or Vertex for technical clients, Atelier or Ivory for brand work. The AI writes the scope; you check the numbers.
Consultants and agencies
Ten proposals a month with the same logo, colours and label wording on every one. Set branding once on Pro and every export inherits it.
Arabic-speaking freelancers
Every template ships with Arabic labels and a right-to-left layout. Generate the proposal in Modern Standard Arabic and quote in the client's currency.
