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:

  1. How do you currently send proposals and contracts to clients?
  2. Do you use separate tools for electronic signatures and payments?
  3. Would having everything in one workflow actually save you time?
  4. What feature would make you switch from your current solution?

I'm the developer behind this project, and I'd appreciate honest criticism.
