How to Write an Essay Cover Page
What you include in your cover page depends slightly on which citation style you are using, but the rules are generally the same.
Guide Overview
- APA cover pages
- MLA cover pages
For APA cover pages:
Include the title of the paper, running head, the author’s name, institutional affiliation, and an author’s note.
Here is an example of a cover page in APA:
For MLA cover pages:
Cover pages are not as frequently used in MLA format, as the inclusion of headers is preferred.
A header looks like this:
Cover pages can include the name of your school, your paper title, your name, your course name, your teacher or professor’s name, and the due date of the paper. If you are unsure of what to include, check with your instructor.

- MLA Format Cover Page
The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not require you to create a cover page when you complete your research paper, but some instructors may require it.
If your instructor requires your paper to have a cover page, here is how to make it (very easy). This cover page should include: your school name, your research paper title, your name, your class, your professor name and your paper due date.
How to Format Your MLA Cover Page:
- This page is double spaced and the letters are centered.
- Font: Times New Roman
- Font size: 12
- The first letter of each word should be capitalized with the exception of very short words such as: the, and, of, or, a, an, in, to, for. Note: the first letter of the first word should be capitalized, regardless of what kind of word it is.
- Type the name of your university or college.
- Skip to about one-third of the page and type your research paper title, include a subtitle if you have.
- Skip several lines down and type your name, your course name and number, your instructor name and your paper’s due date.

Alternate First Page:
If your instructor requires a cover page, you would omit the main heading on your first page. Here is an example of the first page if a cover page is used. You still need your last name and page number on the first page and every other page.

How do I get the header on the second page on down? I tried editing it but then it takes the header away from all the pages.

How do I get the header on the second page on down? I tried editing it but then it takes the header away from all the pages. I am using windows. Also, the page numbers are not working for me either. Please help me.
How should I start the page after my cover page?

Thank you so much Stephen !!! Helped a lot in my written assignments 🙂
Great site ! Thank you so much. Just returned to school to complete my bachelors and needed a little refreshing. Has all the information I needed !
Thanks so much for all of the great information! I have not used MLA before and was a little panic stricken. I have found all of my answers here. This is now saved to my favorites so I can use it regularly. Thanks again!
Should the lines on the cover page be double spaced?
Thanks so much for the picture of the cover page it has helped a lot. But, I was wondering do I still need to put my Title at the top of every page after the header?
Hello Lydia. You do not.
After your cover page, your next page’s heading should look like the “Alternate First Page” above.
After the “Alternate First Page” => your next pages should have “The Inner Pages” heading: https://mlaformat.org/mla-format-heading/
Sample paper: https://mlaformat.org/mla-format-sample-paper-with-cover-page-and-outline/
hey Lydia you don’t need to but if you want to you can
Thank you so so much. I love the simplicity of the website, very easy to understand. I finally have a cover page for my paper!!
I love this website!! It helped so many times with all my essays. I’m working on a college one and this was very useful. Thank you soo much. And thanks for the examples im a visual person I needed that 🙂
Hi Kaylin, I am glad you find this site useful. Take care!
By the way (sorry i forgot!) for the coverpage, would the text font be 12 times new roman???
You can set everything 12, Times New Roman. Or you can set the Title a little larger than 12, that should work too.
In the example above, I have the title larger than 12.
Here is an example with everything set at 12.
Thank you so much for your help on this useful website! I found it very organized and I’m very glad that I came across this particular article. Thanks!!!!!!!:)
I have a question regarding the cover page and the following pages. If I have a cover page as the example provided, do I still need the heading on the next page? And should the pages after that contain my last name on the top left as the header does on the on the previous pages? or do I not need the header at all if I have the cover page and just my name?
Excellence question, Stella! I have updated this article with information on the first page if a cover page is used. Please see “Alternate First Page” above.
You can omit the main heading but you still need your last name and page number on the first page and all subsequent pages. Take care!

How to Make a Cover Page
Last Updated: January 12, 2024 Fact Checked
This article was co-authored by Amber Rosenberg, PCC . Amber Rosenberg is a Professional Life Coach, Career Coach, and Executive Coach based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the owner of Pacific Life Coach, she has 20+ years of coaching experience and a background in corporations, tech companies, and nonprofits. Amber trained with the Coaches Training Institute and is a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

Many professional and academic documents will require a cover page, but the information required for a cover page varies depending on the nature of the document. Some cover pages, like those you would send with a resume, are actually letters. Others, like those used for academic essays, are actually title pages. For all cover letters, using a standard font such as Times New Roman, in at least a 12-point size, is recommended.
Formatting a Cover Page For Your Resume
- You should usually use standard 1-inch (2.5-cm) margins, but you can use margins as small as 0.7 inch (1.8 cm) as long as they are the same on all sides.
- If you have a fax number, you should include it below your phone number and above your e-mail address.
- Write out the full name of the month, rather than abbreviating by using a number. For example, rather than write 1/1/2001, you should write January 1, 2001.
- Leave a blank line above and below the date.
- Note that you do not need to include an e-mail address, phone number, or fax number for the company.
- If you do not know the name of a specific contact at the company, skip over that information.
- When you can determine the gender of the receiver, leave out his or her first name and address the receiver as "Mr." or "Ms." For example, "Dear Ms. Smith" or "Dear Mr. Johnson."
- If you do not know the gender of the receiver, skip the title and use his or her full name. For example, "Dear Pat Roberts."
- Leave a blank line before and after you address the receiver.
- If you are a student, state the university you attend and your major.
- Indicate what position you are applying for as well as how or where you heard about the position.
- You can also mention the name of a professional or academic contact you know who has a positive connection to the reader or company.
- List any special projects, awards, or accomplishments that have a clear connection to the skill set requested by the employer.
- You can include your phone number and e-mail address, as well, but it is not entirely necessary since this information is included in your header.
- Always use black ink to sign formal documents.
Making a Cover Page For a Fax
- Include your phone number and your fax number beneath your name and address.
- Leave at least two blank lines below this header and the rest of the document.
- It's a good idea to save your document as a template for future fax use, since the general format will remain the same.
- The most important quality to your fax cover sheet is that it be clear and easy to read.
- Label the date with "DATE," the receiver's name with "TO," your name with "FROM," and your phone number with "PHONE."
- In the United States, the date will be written in "Month, Day, Year," while in most other countries, it will be written "Day, Month, Year."
- Label the time with "TIME," the receiver's fax number with "FAX," your fax number with "FAX," and your e-mail address with "EMAIL."
- Note that the receiver's name and fax number should be placed on the same horizontal line. Likewise, your name and fax number should be placed on a shared horizontal line of their own.
- Note that this line does not need to be in all capital letters.
- If you had previous contact with the receiver concerning this fax, state that information.
- Introduce your message with the label "MESSAGE:"
- Below your message, ask the receiver to verify the receipt of the document by calling the phone number provided or using the e-mail address provided.
- Specific privacy guidelines for transmission of protected confidential information may vary. If you work for a health provider, you may need to follow additional guidelines to protect the privacy of your client.
Formatting a Cover Page For Your Manuscript
- Use your real name. If you are submitting the manuscript under a pen name, you can follow your real name with your pen name. Introduce a pen name with "A.K.A." or "(Pen name: John Doe)."
- If you're submitting your work to a context that will be judged anonymously, you'll include your contact information on the cover page, while omitting your name and contact information from the title page.
- You do not need to use an exact word count. For instance, if your manuscript is 63,472 words, round it off to 63,000 or 63,500.
- Introduce the word count with "Approximately ______ words."
- Typing the title in all capital letters is a fairly common practice, but it is not necessary.
- It's not necessary to underline, italicize, or bold the title.
- You don't have to include any indication of copyright protection, as your work is automatically protected.
- Never bind or connect the pages of your manuscript in any way. Your cover letter, like the other pages of your manuscript, should be unbound and placed in an envelope or box.
Using APA Style For Your Cover Page
- Introduce the running head with the words "Running head." Follow this label with a colon.
- The running head itself should be in all capital letters.
- The running head should be no longer than 50 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
- The page number and running head should be evenly aligned horizontally.
- Capitalize the first letter of all major words but not for minor words. For example: How to Make a Cover Page
- Do not italicize, bold, or underline the title.
- For example, if you are submitting the paper for a class taken at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, you should include this in the line beneath the author's name (i.e. your name, and the names of your co-authors.)
- Check with your professor for any additional guidelines.
Using MLA Style For Your Cover Page
- Be aware that cover pages are not standard in MLA format, but some professors do request them.
- Do not bold, italicize, or underline either the title or the subtitle.
- Your name should be written using the same font and size as the other words on your title page.
- Don't try to use a cute or clever font for any part of your cover page, as professors don't care for this.
- Introduce your instructor as "Dr." when appropriate. If you cannot use this title to address your instructor, at least introduce him or her as "Professor." For example, "Dr. John Doe" or "Professor John Doe."
- Include both the course name and number.
Using Chicago Style For Your Cover Page
- In Chicago style, cover page and title page refer to the same thing.
- Your professor may have other requirements. Make sure you use the preferred formatting for your course.
- Capitalize the first letter of each major word in your title, but not those belonging to minor words. For example: How to Make a Cover Page
- Alternatively, some style guides suggest that the title be presented in ALL CAPS.
- Do not underline, italicize, or bold the title.
- If you have a subtitle, place a colon following your title and write the subtitle on the following line.
- Your name should be typed about three quarters of the way down the page.
- Use the same font and size that you've used throughout the cover page.
- Include both the name and course number of the subject.
- Write your professor's full name and title. Use "Dr." only when appropriate. For example: "Dr. John Doe" or "Professor John Doe."

On This Page:
In APA Style (7th edition), the cover page, or title page, should include:
- A running head (professional papers only) and page number
- The title of the paper
- The name of the author(s)
- The institutional affiliation
- An author note; optional (professional papers only)
- A student paper should also include course information
Note : APA 7 provides slightly different directions for formatting the title pages of professional papers (e.g., those intended for scholarly publication) and student papers (e.g., those turned in for credit in a high school or college course).
Professional paper APA title page
Student paper APA title page
Formatting an APA title page
Note : All text on the title page should be double-spaced and typed in either 12-point, Times New Roman font. In the 7th edition, APA increaded the flexibility regarding font options: which now include Calibri 11, Arial 11, Lucida Sans Unicode 10, Times New Roman 12, or Georgia 11. All words should be centered, and capitalize the first letter of important words.
Running Head
In the 7th edition of the APA style manual, running heads are only required for professional papers that are being submitted for publication (student papers do not require a running head, but still need a page number).
Your title page should contain a running head that is flush left at the top of the page and a page number that is flush right at the top of the page.
Place the running head in the page’s header:
- The running head is the abbreviated title of the paper (IN UPPERCASE LETTERS) aligned left on the page header of all pages, including the title page. APA (7th edition) guidelines require that running heads be a maximum of 50 characters (spaces count as characters).
- The “Running head:” label used in the APA sixth edition is no longer used.
- Place the page number in this same header, but align right, beginning with page number 1 on the title page.
- This header should be 1 inch from the top. Some instructors allow for 1/2 inch, too, but the default is 1 inch.
Paper Title
Position the title of the paper in the upper half of the page. The title should be centered and written in boldface, and important words should be capitalized.
The APA recommends that your title should be a maximum of 12 words and should not contain abbreviations or words that serve no purpose.
Author Name(s)
Institutional affiliation.
Position the school or university’s name below the author(s) name, centered.
A student paper should also include the course number and name, instructor name, and assignment due date.

Essay Cover Page - MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and APA Format Cover Sheet
Picture this, you have completed your daily duties and now settling in to complete an essay. What is the worst that would happen? Well, the majority of high school, college, university, and graduate students undervalue the need to format an essay cover page properly. In return, most of them end up with either great essays with a poorly done cover page or a poorly done essay with a poorly formatted cover page.
I don’t know which of the above categories, but mine was worse. It is a great mistake to care less about the proper formatting of a title page for any essay. Sometimes the content in the entire class can be great, and the cover page becomes what separates a good grade from a poor grade. You do not have to leave anything to chance when working to maintain a good GPA, do you?
Why master how to make an essay Cover Sheet?
Your title page informs the reader or the professor what to anticipate in your essay. Sometimes, if they are in a hurry, a catchy topic can entice them to read your essay from introduction to conclusion.
The cover page has your name, title of the essay, institution, instructor, and date. A well-formatted title page is enough a getaway to a strict professor’s marks or grade fountain.
And when you are almost giving up on your cover page, we give you a reason to smile. In this article, we will teach you how to make a cover page for an essay, MLA cover page format, Chicago cover page format, APA cover page format, and Harvard cover page format, with examples.
Why should you learn How to Make a Cover Page for an essay?
Sometimes professors and instructors assume the basic things like formatting a college essay. In the end, students end up losing marks over flimsy mistakes. A common question students ask is “how do you make a cover page for an essay?” or “what is to be included on a title page?”
If you have had these questions or related ones, you are in the right place at the right time. We will take you through cover page essay essentials. But before then, why do we have an essay cover page. Or simply, what is an essay cover page?
An essay cover page is the opening page, sometimes called the title page, and offers a comprehensive description of the essay title, identifies the student, and sometimes bears the date and the instructors’ names.
You will notice that the cover pages for essays differ depending on the specific format you are using. For instance, when creating the MLA essay cover page format, you should only do so if the essay prompt requires you to. If not asked for one, there is never any need to include one. The same applies to Harvard, Chicago, and APA cover page formats.
MLA Essay Cover Page Format with Template/Example
Also known as the Modern Language Association, MLA is a unique essay writing and citation format. It is important to mention that most MLA essays do not require an essay cover page. Nevertheless, some instructors insist on you having a cover page for your MLA paper.
When requested to have an opening or cover page for MLA papers, these are some of the details to include:
- Author’s Name
- Instructor’s Name
- The Due Date
Here is a sample MLA cover page template
Note that the format for MLA research paper cover page is slightly different. It will contain:
- Name of university
- Title of the Research Paper
- The subtitle of the research paper
- Your Name (Author’s Name)
- Course Name and Number
- Instructor/Professor’s Name
Below is a sample MLA research paper cover sheet
Some professors or instructors will advise you to use the research paper MLA format title page for your essay.
How do you format an MLA Cover Page?
Formatting an MLA title page is easy!
- It should be double-spaced.
- The preferable font is Times New Roman size 12 or a legible font.
- All the letters must be in Title Case.
- It should have 1-inch margins throughout the paper.
- Ensure that the title page is double spaced.
- Remove any spaces between paragraphs from your Microsoft Word settings page.
See the details in the sample MLA format cover page provided above. Notice the difference between the two and always read the instructor’s essay prompt before deciding on which one to settle for.
APA Cover Page Format with Example/Template
Students have been asking this for a while, and we felt like addressing it would save many of you out there. “How do I make an APA cover sheet?” Well, just like MLA, an APA essay cover page is easy to make.
To begin with, the APA style title page should include:
- Running head (Left aligned in the header section).
- Page Number (Right aligned).
- Title and subtitle of the essay/paper (centered)
- Name of the author (centered).
- Institutional Affiliation (centered).
- Author’s Note (for long research papers, thesis, and dissertations).
An important note, in APA the title should not exceed 50 characters and should be in capital letters. Times New Roman font size 12 is always preferred as well.
For more details, see the example APA title page provided below.
Note that there are changes to APA 6. In APA 7, there is no "Running head" instead, you will only need a page number situated to the top left of the paper. Here is a sample APA 7 Cover page.
Chicago Cover Page Format with Example/Template
Even though less common in academic essay writing, understanding the Chicago essay title page is necessary. It can save you some trouble when writing a Chicago style paper, which is the case with most literature and humanities subjects such as history. Thus, after reading this, you should understand how to format a Chicago essay title cover page correctly.
Here are tips when making Chicago format opening page:
- Chicago title page has no page number or running head in the header section.
- Using Times New Roman or any legible font of size 12 is preferred.
- All the text on the cover page is centered.
- The cover page is double spaced with no spaces between paragraphs
You see, a Chicago style paper opening page is relatively simple to make. A caution, though, when making any type of cover page, your professor’s guidelines are your rule book. Therefore, everything you need to format an essay cover page is always in the prompt.
Chicago style papers are the easiest to handle. However, despite the ease of inserting a title page, it remains a challenge to most students. Sometimes, seeking professional help can be the only option. Our experts can help you craft your Chicago format essays and research papers, talk to us!
Here is a Chicago style format essay cover page.
Harvard Cover Page Format with Example/Template
Harvard formatting has a specific and well-organized cover page.
- The shortened version of the title of the paper comes in the header section (aligned to the right) and is preceded by the page number).
- The full title, written in all capital letters , appears halfway through the page.
- The author’s name (three lines from the title).
- Then four lines down you will have class name and code, name of the professor, City and State the university is located, and the due date.
Here is an example of the Harvard format Cover Sheet Page.
Bottom Line
A cover page for an essay is a critical aspect when undertaking your academic writing tasks. Even though it might seem boring and unnecessary, it can be the only aspect left to differentiate who passes a course and who fails.
When writing an APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago format paper, produce an essay cover page that fits each formatting and citation style. I don’t know about you, but I find it easier to do the cover page as the last part of the essay after writing and proofreading. Yet some in our team prefer setting the cover page for their essays first before they outline the essays . As a ritual, it is my last part to shake hands with the mighty Microsoft Word or Google Document applications.

These are essential basics to keep with you as they will help you understand how to make a cover page for an essay.

How to create custom cover pages in microsoft word.
A great cover page draws in readers.

How to add a ready-to-use cover page to your word document, how to create a custom cover page in microsoft word.
A great cover page draws in readers. If you use Microsoft Word, you're in luck, because Word has ready to use cover pages. But did you know that Word also lets you create custom cover pages? Here's how to use both.
Word includes some cover page templates you can insert and then customize a bit if you need a quick cover page for your document.
To find them, switch over to the "Insert" tab on Word's Ribbon and then click the "Cover Page" button. (If your window isn't maximized, you might see a "Pages" button instead. Click that to show the "Cover Page" button.)
On the drop-down menu, click the cover page you want to use.
You can now add your document title, subtitle, date, and other information, as well as change the design up a bit if you want.
Creating a cover page from a template is easy enough, but if you don't like any of the built-in designs, you can create your own. You can do this on an existing document, but it's easiest to start with a blank document. We're going to be saving the custom cover page so that you can quickly insert it into an existing document anyway.
You can create your cover page using pretty much any of Word's tools. You can add a background color, picture, or texture . You can also position those elements how you want and even apply Word's text wrapping tools to them. Make it look however you want.
When it comes to content, you have a couple of options. You can just type the text you want, but that wouldn't make it much of a template unless you want the same text on the cover page every time you use it.
Instead, you can use Word's Quick Parts feature to add document properties to the document. To do that, switch over to the "Insert" tab and then click the "Quick Parts" button.
On the drop-down menu, point to the "Document Property" submenu, and you'll see a bunch of different properties you can insert into your document: author, title, company, publish date, and so on. Go ahead and insert whichever properties you want to appear on your title page.
When you're done, you'll have several fields on your page. When you insert your cover page into a document later on, those fields are populated with the actual properties from the document (and you can also edit them on the fly if you want).
They're super plain to start with, but you can treat them like any other text in Word by applying styles and formatting, centering them on the page---whatever. Here, we've centered them on the page, applied the Title style to the title, shifted things down on the page a bit, and inserted a filigree illustration for a little flair. It's not the prettiest cover page around, but it's a good working example.
Now that we've got our cover page the way we want it, it's time to create a cover page template out of it.
First, select everything in the document (that's why we recommend starting this in a blank document) by pressing Ctrl+A. Next, head back to the "Insert" tab and then click that "Cover Page" button again.
This time, choose the "Save Selection to Cover Page Gallery" command from the drop-down menu.
In the window that opens, give your cover page a name and fill out a brief description if you want. Click "OK" when you're done.
Now when you open the "Cover Page" drop-down menu in the future, you'll see your new cover page template in the "General" section. Click to insert it just like you would one of Word's built-in cover pages.
And that's it. Creating custom cover pages for your document is pretty easy once you know where to look. While you're at it, learn a few more quick tips on putting together professional-looking documents in Word .

You didn’t spend umpteen hours researching, writing, editing, proofing and perfecting your business report just for nobody to read it, right? Your report cover page, also known as your title page, matters because it’s the first thing people see. Your report cover page is a first impression.
From it, people make snap judgments like:
- What is this about?
- Do I need to read this?
- Is this going to be worth my time?
Several things subconsciously make up those judgments, including:
- Your title, and how intriguing it is (or isn’t).
- The cover page’s design.
Because it’s your first page, seeing a polished and professional report cover page / title page subconsciously makes people assume your report is equally as high quality, too. And that makes them more likely to actually read it and have a positive opinion of it afterwards.

With the text box selected, change the font, color, size or other styles using the formatting bar at the top.
You can also upload your own font file to ensure your report cover perfectly matches the rest of your report, and brand.
- Swap out images
To edit an image, click on it and choose Replace .
You can upload your own image, or search and choose from over 3 million royalty-free stock images from Pexels and Pixabay, conveniently accessible right inside the editor.
You may run into what I have with this report cover page template: I changed the photo, but it’s still got the blue overlay on it. Not to worry, here’s how to change that.
Open the left side menu and click Background . You can choose a new background color based on other colors used in your document — an easy way to keep designs on-brand — or, specify your own color. You can even add a gradient background with one click, or add a pattern on top of your background color.
The possibilities are endless for customizing your visual elements.
Once you change the background color, your photo may be too dark or too light to show up properly. To adjust this, click on the photo, then Opacity at the top. Play around with it until it looks just right.
- Optional: Create the rest of your report
Each of our report cover templates come with matching content page templates. To use them, click on the Page Manager on the right side.
Click on any page to edit it and add in your report content. Click the plus icon to add a new blank page, or the double-rectangle icon to duplicate an existing page.
No time for that level of detail, or already have a completed report and only need a cover? No problem — just export the first page as your new cover and attach it to your existing PDF with Adobe Acrobat , Preview for Mac, or with an online tool like MergePDF .
- Wow your boss/team/mom
Whoever’s gonna be reading your report will be heckin’ impressed by your top notch style, friend. Nicely done.
What should be on a report cover page?
There is only one “must-have” thing on your report cover: your report title.
But, most people also include:
- Your company name
- Company website URL
- Contact information, like email or phone number (usually only if giving a presentation)
- An identifier of what type of report it is (e.g. “ Annual Report ,” “Q4 Earnings Report,” “ Progress Update ,” etc)
Ultimately, what you include is up to you and the requirements of your report. You can easily add new text fields or images — or edit existing ones — to any of our report cover page templates to suit your needs.
Does my report cover page need to match the rest of my report?
Well… it’d be nice if it did. But no, it’s not required.
For example, your report may be in a spreadsheet format, or listing out balance sheets and financial statements. Most of these types of reports are automatically generated from software. Trying to brand them by copy and pasting that content into a nice looking template probably isn’t worth your time.
Plus, the people reviewing those reports are likely expecting the familiar format they’re used to and may be put off by a big change.
But your report cover page and actual report don’t need to be identical to “match.”
As long as the font in your report isn’t size 36 Comic Sans, attaching a nicely designed cover page will make any report appear more professional and put together. (If your report is in Comic Sans, sorry, nothing can redeem it.)
Make a report cover page in 60 seconds or less
A professional, well-designed report cover page communicates the value of your report right away. It immediately gives your reader the impression of importance and competence, which is probably what you want your boss to think about you.
Plus, a great title page makes it much more likely your report will actually be read.
To recap, here’s how to make your own report cover page in less than 60 seconds:
- Step 1: Sign up for a free Venngage account .
- Step 2: Choose a report cover page template.
- Step 3: Add your branding, colors, fonts, and edit the text.
- Step 4 (Optional): Create the rest of your report with matching report page templates.

How to Write a Proposal Cover Page + 6 Examples
Posted by: Cinthya Soto
First impressions count, and a proposal cover page is the first impression you will make on a potential client. That’s why it’s essential that your architecture proposal has an outstanding cover page. Many might neglect the title page, treating it as a simple formality after the rigorous process of proposal writing . However, this initial page should captivate just as much as the rest of the proposal.
But how do you strike the right balance between professionalism and creativity? How do you ensure your cover page stands out in a sea of similar proposals? If these questions have crossed your mind, you’re in the right place.
In this blog, we’ll cover each element necessary to create an outstanding proposal cover page in the AEC industry. We’ll also prove you with six examples in the AEC examples and tell you why they work. By the end of this blog, you’ll be ready to elevate your proposal game and leave a lasting mark on your reader.
The Importance of Proposal Title Pages
In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, firms often compete for high-value contracts, and clients are looking for partners they can trust. Architecture proposal covers play a big role in both of these factors– making you stand out among the competition and building trust among potential clients.
It not only speaks to the professionalism and quality of your firm but also serves as a differentiator, setting you apart from competitors. Like the foundation of a building, a strong proposal title page supports the entire structure of your proposal, ensuring it stands firm among the competition.
The title page is often the first thing a client or reviewer will see when they open a proposal, and as with any first impression, it can set the tone for the entire proposal review process. Here’s why the proposal title page is so crucial in the AEC industry:
Making a Lasting First Impression
Just as the exterior of a building can draw you into its architecture and ambiance, a well-designed proposal title page grabs the attention of its reader. The proposal title page is a key tool in making a lasting impression. The first impression you make demonstrates your understanding of design, precision, and the client’s requirements.
Moreover, a well-organized and clear title page helps set the tone for the rest of the proposal, meaning that the document is professionally prepared and well-thought-out.
Showing Your Professionalism
The title page often includes critical details such as the project name, submission date, company logo, and contact information. A strategically designed title page indicates that you pay attention to detail, a quality highly valued in the AEC industry.
A professional title page also symbolizes your firm’s standards and the quality of work one can expect. If you can’t be bothered to make the cover look good, a client may question the diligence and care you will bring to their project.
Getting Ahead of the Competition
It’s clear that an impressive proposal title page can help you get ahead of the competition. For this reason, pay attention to factors that make your proposal cover stand out, such as branding and your value proposition.
The title page is an opportunity to showcase your company’s branding and identity. This differentiation helps clients quickly identify and remember your proposal amongst a pile of others.
Moreover, highlight your value proposition on the cover to subtly emphasize what makes your firm unique and why you are the best choice for the project.
How Do You Write a Cover Page for a Proposal?
A cover page is a window to your proposal. It should be neat, organized, and able to demonstrate important information in a quick glance. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to structure and include the relevant details on your proposal’s cover page:
1. The Name of Your Company
This aspect immediately identifies who is sending the proposal. Place this at the top or center of the page, preferably in a larger font. Select a font that’s easy to read and showcases your style. Additionally, use minimal colors and visuals to keep the attention on the name and title.
2. Logo and Graphic
The cover page should display high-quality logos and graphics that highlight your work to its fullest advantage. Go for sharp, well-illuminated images that resonate with your unique style and aesthetic.
Position your company logo strategically. It could be near the name of your company or at the top center of the page. If you have a relevant graphic or image that represents the project or your company’s ethos, consider integrating it into the design, but ensure it doesn’t clutter or overwhelm the page.
3. Project Title
The project title should be located centrally or just below your company name. This tells the recipient what the proposal is about. Make sure the title is specific and descriptive. It should capture the main goal, scope, and value of your project in a few words.
4. Date of submission
Typically placed at the bottom or top-right corner. This indicates the currency and relevancy of the information presented. You might format it as: “Submission Date: August 21, 2023.”
5. Name of Client
This should be positioned either centrally, near the project title or in the top-left corner. This personalizes the proposal and makes it clear who it is intended for. For example, “Proposal Prepared for: [Client’s Name/Company]”
6. Contact Information
It’s essential to have your contact details on the front page, making it convenient for potential clients or employers to reach out to you. Include a dedicated section, often at the bottom, with the following details:
- Phone Number
- Email Address
- Website
Title Page Tips for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Proposals
In the AEC industry, every detail counts, from the beginning of a project to the end. A well-constructed title page can set the tone, show professionalism, and resonate with the values and expectations of your prospective clients. Here are some key tips to ensure your title page captures attention:
Have a Catchy Title
The title is, without a doubt, the most important part of a proposal title page. It directs the reader’s attention and sets the stage for what’s to follow. It is the first aspect that the reader will process, and it shapes their initial perception of the entire proposal.
A catchy title is like a magnet – it draws the reader in. It evokes curiosity, intrigue, and a desire to learn more. Craft your title in a way that it doesn’t just inform, but also persuades. Make a promise or hint at a unique approach. Instead of “New Building Proposal,” consider “Innovative Design Meets Sustainable Living.”
An engaging title is not just about being catchy; it also needs to be informative. It should provide a concise snapshot of your proposal’s core. Vague titles can lead to confusion, while overly detailed ones can overwhelm you. The balance lies in being succinct yet meaningful.
Wherever relevant, ensure your title gives a hint of the primary benefit or the unique value your proposal brings. If you’re presenting a sustainable architectural design, for instance, that’s not just a feature – it’s a significant benefit that can set your proposal apart.
Moreover, there are times when one line isn’t enough, and that’s okay. Using a subtitle allows you to add depth, provide clarity, or further pique interest. While the main title might capture attention with its bold assertion, the subtitle can deliver a more detailed promise or context.
Create an Impactful Design
The cover page, the first point of contact, should be designed to impress and inform. Choose colors that align with your brand and resonate with the proposal’s theme. Limiting to 2-3 primary colors can create a more cohesive and professional look. Colors evoke emotions and perceptions. For instance, blues might convey trust and stability, while greens can emphasize sustainability, so keep that in mind when creating your proposal cover page.
Moreover, ensure the title is prominently sized, with subtitles and other details progressively smaller but still legible. Prioritize “easy to read” fonts, especially for critical information. Clean, sans-serif fonts are often favored for their readability.
Make sure to position your company logo where it’s easily visible, typically at the top or center of the page, and use graphics that complement the proposal’s content.
Additionally, white space (or negative space) gives elements on the page room to breathe, enhancing readability and the overall aesthetic. While you want to convey key information, avoid filling every inch of the page. Strategically using white space can make your cover look more professional and organized.
Keep Branding Aligned
The cover page of a proposal presents an opportunity to assert and reinforce your company’s brand. Ensuring brand alignment on this critical page is essential. Brand consistency ensures that the reader instantly identifies the proposal’s source, enhancing the recall value of your company.
Familiarity breeds trust. When clients or partners recognize consistent branding , it instills a sense of reliability and professionalism in your services. Moreover, distinct and consistent branding helps your proposal stand out from a pile of generic documents, giving you a competitive edge.
The best way to ensure consistency across your brand is to implement a software solution, like Digital Asset Management (DAM) software , to manage the ever-growing number of images, videos, logos, and media you keep in your digital asset library.
Every company has brand assets that shape how people view and engage with the brand. Your assets collectively contribute to your brand, and ensuring their consistency and currency is the main focus of DAM solutions.
Don’t Forget About Proofreading
You must make sure your proposal cover page is perfect through diligent proofreading. In an industry with lots of competition, your brand’s reputation can be a differentiator. Errors, however minor, can tarnish your brand’s image and reduce the trust clients place in your capabilities.
The cover page is the very first thing a prospective client or partner sees. A single spelling error, grammar mistake, or misalignment can display a negative image, even before the proposal’s content is reviewed. Proofreading showcases diligence, care, and a commitment to excellence. A flawless cover page communicates that you apply the same meticulousness to your projects as you do to your winning proposals .
Beyond just errors in grammar or spelling, proofreading ensures that the proposal’s intent, objectives, and key details are clearly and effectively communicated. Ambiguities or inconsistencies might lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations.
Lastly, an unchecked cover page might contain outdated logos, incorrect project titles, or misnamed client details. Such oversights can be embarrassing, unprofessional, and potentially cost you valuable contracts. As mentioned earlier, especially in a field like AEC, consistency is of high importance. Proofreading ensures that such information is consistent across the cover page and the entire proposal.

How to Write Your Business Plan Cover Page + Template
6 min. read
Updated January 3, 2024
The cover page is likely the last thing you’ll consider when writing a business plan .
While it’s not the most vital part of your business plan, a well-formatted cover page can be a nice touch when pitching to investors , banks , or business partners.
In this article, we’ll cover what to include and how to format your cover page so you can assemble an impressive page in just a few minutes.
- What is a business plan cover page?
The business plan cover page – or title page – is the introduction to your business plan document. It should be simple and straightforward—only providing logistical information about your business for stakeholders to reference.
Unlike your executive summary , a summarized version of your business plan, the cover page is strictly meant to provide contact information and set the tone for what they are about to read. The quality, formatting, and readability can all impact a stakeholder’s expectations for your plan and business.
Why do you need a cover page for a business plan?
To be clear, the cover page is not a required section of your business plan.
It’s a largely decorative addition meant to grab the attention of a stakeholder. It should introduce you, your business, and the planning document and make it easy for the reader to find your contact information.
If you’re writing a business plan purely for internal purposes , you probably don’t need to spend time on a cover page.
But if you pitch to investors , apply for a loan , or approach a potential partner—a cover page can be a nice touch that makes you (and your business) look more professional.
What to include in your business plan cover page
It’s best to keep your cover page simple. The page should only include:
- Company logo
- Business name
- Value proposition (optional)
- Business plan title
- Completion and/or update date
- Address and contact information
- Confidentiality statement

How to create your business plan cover page
Creating a cover page shouldn’t take too long. Gather all the information listed above, and then fine-tune the formatting. Here’s how we recommend you organize the information:
1. Start with your logo
Including your logo should help your business be more memorable. Just be sure it’s memorable for the right reasons.
That means adding a reasonably sized, high-resolution image at the top of your cover page. Just don’t make it so large that it takes attention away from other information on the page.
2. Add your business name
You want readers to connect your business name to your logo. So, add some space (2-3 lines) and drop your name front and center. Consider using a large and bold font option to ensure it’s easy to read and immediately noticeable.
3. Include your value proposition (optional)
While optional, including your value proposition can be useful if it effectively describes your business purpose.
4. Craft a title
Now you need to describe the document’s purpose. Don’t overthink it – start by adding “Business Plan” to the center of the page. Keep the bold font, but apply a slightly smaller font size than with your business name.
From there, you can apply a title that frames the type of business plan you’re creating: “ One-page ,” “ 5-year ,” “Merger,” “ Growth plan ,” etc.
Expanding the title is optional and should only be done if you believe it will benefit the reader.
5. Add the completion date
Including the completion date shows how fresh and up-to-date your plan is. Ideally, you’re revisiting your plan regularly (especially the financial projections in your plan). So the date should be relatively recent.
This information alone can show how focused and dedicated you are to running a successful business.
As far as formatting is concerned, keep it simple. Include the month, day, and year – either numerically (9/15/2023) or spelled out (September 15, 2023).
6. List your contact information
This is the true purpose of your cover page. The last thing you want is for an investor or lender to love your pitch only to have to scrounge around for your email or phone number.
Add a header that states “Contact Information” centered near the bottom of the page. Then, on separate lines, add your name (or other points of contact for your business), email address, phone number, business website, and physical address.
Tip: If you’re sending your plan digitally, add links to your email address and website so they can reach you quickly.
7. Include a confidentiality statement
The confidentiality statement is meant to help legally protect your information and ensure that no one shares or copies portions of your business plan.
You can include a simple “Confidential” watermark near the top of the page or write a more thorough statement to sit at the bottom.
Here’s an example:
“This document contains confidential and proprietary information created by [your business]. It is exclusively designed for informational purposes and should not be disclosed, shared, or copied without the consent of [your business].”
Don’t worry too much about emphasizing this information. It can sit as smaller text in the footer of your cover page.
- Tips to make your cover page memorable
Adding the information should be quick. Now, spend some time on these best practices to get your business plan title page ready to share.
Apply consistent formatting
Inconsistent formatting looks unprofessional and can make a document more difficult to read. So check that your character and line spacing, font choices, and text alignment are consistent to ensure they are identical.
You should also print out the document (as a Word Document and PDF) to check if the format changes.
Use your brand color scheme
Adding your brand colors to text, borders, and other design elements can strengthen the presence of your brand identity in your business plan. It also better connects non-visual elements to your logo.
Just don’t force adding color to your plan. If it takes away from the text or takes too much time to get right, it’s best to avoid it.
Check your cover page from top to bottom for spelling errors and mistakes (you should do this for your entire business plan). If possible, have someone else proofread it to ensure you didn’t miss anything.
Business plan cover page examples
To help you visualize your cover page design, here is an example from our free business plan template :
We recommend you avoid creating an overly designed business plan. However, if you believe a more visual cover page will grab your reader’s attention—check out these other examples.
Spend more time on the rest of your business plan
We’ve already emphasized that you shouldn’t spend too much time creating a business plan cover page. While it can be a nice addition, it’s often quickly skipped over and only referenced again if the reader needs your contact information.
And it’s unnecessary altogether if you’re not planning to share your plan with anyone. If that’s the case, focus your time and effort on writing the rest of your business plan.

How to Write a Fax Cover Letter
A fax cover letter or fax cover sheet is a must to protect sensitive documents from accidental disclosure. Without it, you risk exposing confidential information, especially if you regularly send faxes to healthcare, legal, and financial institutions.
Depending on the severity of the situation, you may face severe consequences, such as paying hefty fines for noncompliance. You also risk losing your client’s trust, which could negatively affect your sales and business reputation.
Luckily, learning how to write a fax cover letter is relatively easy. Here’s what you need to do.
What to put on a fax cover sheet?
A fax cover sheet typically includes the recipient’s name and fax number, the sender’s name and fax number, the number of pages being sent, and a brief message or subject line. It may also include the date, the fax machine’s phone number, and any additional information or instructions.
Table of Contents
Is a Fax Cover Letter Necessary?
- What Should a Cover Sheet Include?
Fax Cover Letter Example
Yes, including a fax cover letter is essential. For one thing, it tells your recipient who you are and your purpose for faxing. If your fax contains confidential information, the person who receives it can forward the document to the correct recipient using the information provided in the cover sheet.
Besides, you can’t always guarantee a successful transmission. What if you entered the wrong fax number? The office you’re trying to send your fax probably has a shared fax machine, so there’s a possibility that your document could fall into the wrong hands.
There’s no telling when things could go wrong, so including a cover letter can help secure your faxes . It also helps your business stay compliant, especially if there are privacy and confidentiality standards like HIPAA , GDPR, GLBA, and UETA that you need to uphold.
What Should a Fax Cover Sheet Include?
The first step in writing a fax cover letter is knowing what information to include. Make sure it contains the following:
Sender’s name and contact information
This section should include your name, office address, fax number, email, and mobile number. Displaying these details on the cover sheet will make it easier for recipients to contact you. An excellent example would be when you are broadcasting promotional messages. You can have recipients send their replies via email or a toll-free fax number .
Sender’s company name and logo
For business fax cover letters, it’s a must to include your company name and logo. Even if your fax might be treated as spam, your recipients can tell at first glance whether the fax comes from a trusted and reliable source. They simply need to see the cover letter logo.
Date and time of fax transmission
This is crucial if you’re sending faxes with time-sensitive information. You can refer to the time and date shown on the cover sheet to verify the validity of a transaction. It also serves as proof in case there’s a need to confirm the document’s authenticity or double-check whether the fax has been successfully delivered.
Total number of faxed pages
Displaying this information can help recipients verify whether there are missing pages. When showing the total number of pages, you should always include the fax cover sheet in the count. For example, the total page count should be six when faxing a five-page membership form.
Recipient’s name and contact information
Including this information is a must whether you are faxing documents to single or multiple recipients. This way, the person or department can quickly identify the document’s addressee. If you cannot provide a specific name, you can indicate your recipient’s job position or title. For example, you can address your fax to the head of marketing or external relations officer.
Confidentiality notice
A confidentiality or privacy notice is necessary to warn recipients about the prohibited use of confidential information. You must include this notice every time you fax a document that contains private information, like a laboratory request or financial report. You can also include a notice asking the recipient to destroy the document copy in case they receive it by mistake.
Summary or description
When applicable, you can also write a summary or overview of your fax message. This way, your recipient will have a general idea of what your fax message is about. You can also include a list of all the documents attached.
Relevant notes
Adding relevant notes can help identify whether your fax message requires urgent attention. It can be as simple as a checklist displaying the actions that you’d like your recipient to do. Here are a few examples of the options you can include in your relevant notes:
- Please reply
- Please comment
- Please review
As long as you keep these pointers in mind, you’ll learn how to write a fax cover sheet or letter in no time.
