Where We Found 15 High-Quality Web Design RFPs in January 2026
Finding high-quality design agency leads is hard work.
I know because each week I curate dozens of the best website redesign RFPs from organizations all over the web.
I put the best projects I find into my Leads Newsletter—a private weekly email for agencies with active projects from organizations currently seeking an agency.
I also understand how this sounds and that right now you might be a little skeptical.
"What kind of trash leads is this guy sending?"
So here are some real RFPs I sent out in the past month, including the actual request for proposal document I sent.
I've done the math. If there's even 1-2 leads here you would have applied to, you'll save thousands of dollars each year in billable hours by signing up.

What These RFPs Have in Common

AI features are mainstream now. Chatbots, AI search, and voice-to-text appeared in multiple RFPs this month.
Multilingual is increasingly common. Several projects required Spanish translation, and international projects needed 3+ languages.
Government .gov migrations continue. Multiple municipalities are transitioning to .gov domains with compliance deadlines driving projects.
