Maybe allow users to set it up for free, and go through one project with one client with the tool. If it makes the process amazing people might be in a position where they would like to pay for it. You could include a nudge to increase their pricing for that project to cover X months of usage of the tool (depending on project size I guess).

#132When I sign up, I like to have an overview of what is asked. It is very difficult here, and scrolling over the whole form gives me a headache, with those fields withering when not at the center of the page. Simplify the signup form, that could already help.

#133I am a freelance web developer. I am working as a freelancer in Fiverr and Upwork from the last 3 year. I just opened your website, hit the Get Started button, Fill the first 3 fields and next? and I did what everyone else is doing.

> When a client wants an NDA, they send one Flip side: if I’m hiring, I want to use my NDA.
? Is that not the same side?

#135Some more feedback... this is what your page looks like on mobile: https://pasteboard.co/GUmoc26.png Doesn’t instill much confidence in the professiona out there

#136I did not read the comments first, instead I tried out your site. It's the typeform. PERIOD. It throws you off.

#137The site is pretty bare and non-functional on Android with the brave browser. All I see is the header, where the hamburger menu doesn't work. Then I see " become a professional freelancer" and "demo video " that's it.

#140The problem with freelancing is generating demand. How do I, as a client find freelancers ? So I go to such places. And all the sites that can generate demand (freelancer.com, upwork.com, etc) will manage all of this for you.
They have their own freelancer landing pages, etc. Maybe not as good as yours, but they are fundamentally solving the demand generation problem first. Invoices and Payments are fundamental to these platforms.
