While I agree on the importance of a good proposal,
I hesitate in creating any of the folowing before money
has changed hands:
"Site Specifications and layout"
"Storyboards, diagrams, or examples"
All these things take quite a bit of time, and doing
them before the client has agreed to hire you is not a
good idea (in my opinion). UI takes a lot of time, and
that time must be paid for. I can't put together a
site layout without determining the exact needs of
the client. If you give the client a site
layout, storyboard, diagrams, and examples before a
contract is signed, they very likely will take your work
and have someone cheaper produce it, leaving you
with nothing.
At least that has been my expeirence.
