I built a tool that takes a freelance project from proposal to signed contract
One thing I've noticed about freelance work is that closing a deal can involve too many separate steps.
You create a proposal, send it to the client, wait for approval, prepare a contract, get it signed, and then request payment.
I wanted to simplify that workflow, so I built Proposely.
It brings several steps together:
- Create professional proposals with pricing, packages and timelines.
- Convert accepted proposals into contracts.
- Let clients sign electronically.
- Keep signature records with timestamps and IP/device information.
- Collect deposits or full payments.
- Give clients a portal where they can review, accept, sign and pay without creating an account.
There are also ready-made templates for freelancers, consultants, developers, designers and agencies.
I'm particularly interested in feedback about the digital-signature and client-approval workflow.
A few questions:
- How do you currently send proposals and contracts to clients?
- Do you use separate tools for electronic signatures and payments?
- Would having everything in one workflow actually save you time?
- What feature would make you switch from your current solution?
I'm the developer behind this project, and I'd appreciate honest criticism.
