Professional Word Employee Handbook Redesign
Budget: $200 – $400 AUD
I have an existing employee handbook in Microsoft Word that reads well but looks dull. I’d like you to turn it into a polished, on-brand document that I can still edit myself at any time.
Here is what matters most to me
• Strong, consistent typography and paragraph styles that feel corporate and tidy
• A clean, well-balanced layout with clear section breaks, an auto-generated table of contents, and page numbering that updates automatically
• Thoughtful use of graphics or icons where they add clarity, without overwhelming the text
Branding requirements
• Insert our company logo in the header (I will supply images)
• Custom headers and footers that match our standard letterhead style
• A neutral, professional colour palette in keeping with a corporate theme — if you need exact colour values I can supply our brand guide
Deliverables
1. A fully formatted .docx master file, built on Word’s native styles so future edits cascade cleanly
2. A short style guide (one page is fine) explaining which styles to apply for headings, body text, call-outs, tables, etc.
3. All imagery or icon assets used, in an “Assets” sub-folder, clearly named
Acceptance criteria
• Document opens with no missing fonts or layout shifts on both PC and Mac versions of Word
• All headings appear correctly in the automatic table of contents
• I can overwrite any paragraph and the styling remains intact
Timeline is flexible within a week, but please let me know if you need longer once you’ve seen the file. Feel free to share examples of similar Word layouts you’ve produced so I can gauge fit.
