Our digital contract maker is like your own personal contract workflow wizard. Similar to popular e-signature tools, it streamlines the entire contract creation and digital signing process. Whether you're starting from scratch or tweaking a template, it's a straightforward experience. Once your online contract masterpiece is ready, simply send it off to the necessary parties.

The best part is that these are legal agreements - lawyer-approved, legally sound and no law firm needed.

We highly recommended using an online tool like HoneyBook for creating and sending an online contract. Not only is this going to save you from wasting precious time trying to figure out how to create paper contracts on Microsoft Word, Excel, or Google Docs, but it’s a secure platform that will actually help you accept eSignatures and fast track the entire signing process.

Here’s how to create an online contract: Start a free HoneyBook trial and navigate to the templates tool inside your account. From there, grab one of HoneyBook’s contract templates, or create your own digital contract by pasting in any language you currently use. Use “smart fields” to automatically pull information about your client into your contracts. It’s always recommended to rReview your contract for formatting, typos, terms of service, and accurate information with the help of your attorney. When you’re ready to send your contract to a client, you’ll want to add an accompanying message to give them context about what they are about to review and sign.

Online contract management helps you in a few key ways:
1. Online contracts are faster to create: online contract tools like HoneyBook usually allow you to start from a template or a recently sent contract, plus use dynamic smart fields to auto populate client information. Layout contract terms only once by using contract templates, and make online contract creation easier than ever.
2. Mobile friendly means signing contracts faster: being able to send contracts from your mobile device is great for working on the go. And, on the flip side, providing a mobile-friendly experience for your clients (who, let’s face it, are always on their phones) makes it incredibly easy for them to review and securely sign documents whether they’re on their laptop, phone or tablet.
3. Status notifications: Managing your contracts online means you have a clear online contract signing process, and you get more insight into when a client has viewed and signed. With HoneyBook, you’ll receive status notifications when a client has opened a contract, viewed it, and of course, signed!

Absolutely, freelancers should definitely use online contracts. These agreements provide clarity on project details, timelines, and payment terms, protecting both freelancers and clients. Using an online contract ensures everyone's on the same page, makes getting digital signatures easier and faster, and makes your freelance gig more professional and secure.

Yes, online contracts are legally binding. Just like traditional paper contracts, online agreements hold legal validity, ensuring that the terms and commitments outlined are enforceable. And with HoneyBook, our online documents are lawyer-approved, providing an additional layer of security. This ensures that your agreement is not only legally sound but also that your business is thoroughly protected, fostering confidence and peace of mind in your professional dealings.

Yes, your HoneyBook account will come equipped with contract templates to use as a starting point for your contract. You can edit the provided contracts or start from scratch and create your own template with the easy-to-use drag-and-drop editor. While a professional was consulted in drafting the contract templates, it is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have any questions about contract templates or your finished contract as it relates to your specific business, please contact a licensed attorney.
