Smart client brief builder for freelancers and agencies. Drop a multi-step brief form anywhere with one shortcode.

== Description ==

NR Brief Builder turns the classic "contact me" form into a guided, multi-step client brief. Visitors pick their project type, answer a handful of chip-based questions, and get a live recap before sending — you get a clean, structured brief in your inbox and in your WordPress dashboard.

**Free version features**

* `[nr_brief]` shortcode, usable in any page, post or widget
* Up to 5 configurable question steps + a fixed final contact/recap step
* Chips (single or multiple choice) and free-text fields
* Dynamic recap panel built as the visitor answers
* Structured notification email to you, automatic confirmation email to the prospect
* 3 ready-made templates: Web, Graphisme, Coaching
* Native WordPress security: nonces, sanitization, output escaping
* Zero external dependencies — vanilla CSS/JS only

**Usage**

`[nr_brief template="web"]`

Available templates: `web`, `graphisme`, `coaching`.

**Premium (roadmap)**

Unlimited steps, submission pipeline (New/In progress/Quoted/Won/Lost), PDF export, automatic budget scoring, follow-up reminders, custom branding, CSV export, WPML/Polylang, webhooks (Zapier, Make, CRM).

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `nr-brief-builder` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip via *Plugins → Add New*.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Add `[nr_brief]` to any page, or `[nr_brief template="graphisme"]` / `[nr_brief template="coaching"]` for another preset.
4. Set your notification email under *NR Brief Builder → Settings*.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do submissions go? =

Every submission is stored privately under *NR Brief Builder → Submissions* in wp-admin, and two emails are sent: a structured notification to you, and an automatic confirmation to the prospect.

= Can I use it more than once on the same page? =

Yes, each `[nr_brief]` instance is independent.

= Does it work with any theme? =

Yes. The form ships with its own self-contained styling and does not depend on the active theme beyond typography.

== Third Party Services / Privacy Policy ==

NR Brief Builder uses the [Freemius](https://freemius.com/) SDK to manage installations and (in a future version) license checks for the optional Pro upgrade.

On activation, Freemius shows a one-time opt-in screen asking whether you want to share some basic, non-sensitive usage and installation data (e.g. your site's URL, WordPress and PHP versions, and this plugin's version) to help us improve compatibility and support, and to receive relevant update notifications. **This is opt-in, not automatic**: nothing is sent unless you click "Allow & Continue," and clicking "Skip" declines it — the plugin works exactly the same either way.

No personal data — such as the content of your clients' brief submissions — is ever sent to Freemius. That data stays in your own WordPress database, as described above.

Freemius's full privacy policy is available at [https://freemius.com/privacy/](https://freemius.com/privacy/).

2. The settings page — pick a template, preview it live, and copy your shortcode in one click.
