How a project works on Freelio

From first handshake to final payment — here's every step, from both sides.

1

One form. Two participants. Zero confusion.

The creator sets up the project — name, description, and the client's email. The client gets an invite and lands directly in their project dashboard.

Project Invitation

You've been invited to collaborate

Alex has invited you to Acme Corp Website Redesign. Review the project scope, sign the contract, and track progress — all in one place.

2

Legally binding. Digitally signed. Automatically hashed.

The creator defines milestones and payment terms. Freelio generates a contract with SHA-256 integrity hashing. The client signs with an eIDAS-compliant digital signature.
