Proper (https://properapp.com https://properapp.com) - Easy to understand contracts for freelancers. Cool because it makes the process of creating, sending, and signing freelance contracts much less difficult. Ultimate goal is to get it to a point where a freelancer can pick from a series of pre-loaded templates related to their type of work (e.g. a brochure website, developing an application, wedding photography, etc.) and send their client a contract (that's viable) in minutes. Also makes signing easy for clients by just using a single button click.

You have an almost 1 megabyte image on the homepage (the octopus). On my internet the image alone took about 4 seconds to load. You should consider optimizing it

Just had a quick look at your site. I assume it is US only? (I like the idea, I had a similar idea for flat rental contracts here in Barcelona). How much lawyer time did you need to spend on setting it up? One suggestion for the website, it clearly states the benefits for the developer, but I assume the customer half of the deal would end up seeing it as well. Point out the benefits to that party, make it seem more of a win-win, rather than a developer covering their arse.

  US only for now. I'm a solo dev/designer so really just as time allows me to add in il8n. Not much lawyer time. I had the fortunate position of having my dad as a lawyer/a good friend who was a lawyer to pass the idea on to. The core idea (save for storing signatures) doesn't have any legal implications, so building it was pretty straightforward on that front. Re: the site, thank you for this. I currently have an item on my to do list labeled "guide for curious clients." On my radar for sure, but I'm more concerned with getting the basic pieces in place before I invite that storm :)
